2025 ARTIST STATEMENT BY ASTRID PRESTON. My work is rooted in my experience of the world, with nature providing my vocabulary. The paintings are basically inner landscapes that grow out of the act of observing my surroundings. They are an exploration and a search - a dialogue between what goes on inside and outside. They are my attempt to find meaning and create a fixed structure in a world constantly in flux.
