"Astrid's landscape paintings focus on the relationships between the constructed and natural environment. Most of her recent work has moved from figuration to pure abstraction. In these, the physical world has dematerialized into luminous color fields to which she applies a hand-painted, fine, multicolored webbing. The result feels like a landscape viewed through a stained-glass lattice, where soft washes of color suggest figures, foliage, or atmosphere just beyond clear recognition." - R.B. Stevenson
