"Los Angeles painter Astrid Preston has long explored and invented new frontiers of an aesthetic naturalism, elegantly remaking urban and rural wildness into provocative, soul satisfying tapestries of life and parkland utopias. Her work has consistently taken technical and philosophical risks, achieved unique depth, and established Astrid Preston as one of America's most important contemporary landscape painters". Michael C. Tobias, Forbes.
