Initially drawn to the world of art school, her path took an unexpected turn, leading her to explore different avenues of expression as a hobby alongside a successful career as a business psychologist. With her mind continuously into creating and crafting, she pursued education in art, photography, sewing and interior design. 

Her diverse background, coupled with her defiance of institutional constraints, contributes to the unique essence of her art. It embodies a rebellion against the status quo and a deep reverence for the unbound beauty of nature.

Astrid’s affection for the ordinary, finding beauty in simplicity and the everyday, resonates as a central theme in her work. She is easily drawn to natural elements, shapes, and structures in both interiors and art, believing that these elements infuse homes with tranquility and seamlessly merge with their essence. 

It is the unrefined beauty where the merging of raw structures and untamed emotions invites viewers to embrace imperfections and discover the profundity in life's simplicity.
