Meet

Born in Bollnäs, Sweden, 1979.

Astrid grew up in the idyllic village of Stocksätter, Sweden - a place where creativity was everywhere and curiosity had room to roam. Surrounded by nature, crafting material, and possibility, Astrid was free to follow whatever path her curiosity took her on. The land itself felt alive with folklore and myth, and that energy still weaves its way into her art today. Creativity runs deep in her lineage, and Life continues to be her greatest teacher.

Medium & Material In her art on paper, Astrid mainly works with gauche, watercolour, ink and textile on heavyweight watercolour paper. She also adventure into larger paintings on canvas with acrylic and oil pastels. Prusts Farmhouse Chamonix, in the French Alps, holds a special place in her story. She lived there for eight years - it’s where she met her partner, Mick, and where both their daughters were born.

Now based in North Cornwall, she lives and creates alongside her partner as they restore Prusts Farmhouse - a long-term family labour of love. It’s a wild and beautiful place to raise their two daughters and follow the rhythms of a slower, more intentional life.
Career Journey Before sharing her art with the world, Astrid worked internationally in Consumer Relationship Management and Market Research. But it was the journey into motherhood that truly brought her back to her creative core -reminding her of her childhood dream of becoming an artist/illustrator.

The Queens “The Queens” meet you as you are.

Bold, bright, and unapologetic, they hold their ground with a colourful confidence.

Each one brings her own energy - sharp, soft, direct, playful - like a mirror with a bit of attitude.

No fixing, no regrets. Just a moment of seeing yourself clearly and owning it.

Play Play is a space of remembering - where creation is not something to perform, but something to be in.

These artworks invite you to follow instinct, to make without needing a reason, and to return to the simple joy of creating.

Each piece carries a sense of spontaneity, curiosity, and gentle disruption - the kind that loosens things up and lets something new come through.

Where the meaningful meets the playful, and where depth and lightness exist side by side.

An invitation to find your way back through play.
