“A Hidden Parish”
Welcome to English Village Artist 🎨
I am Astrid – the artist behind the name – capturing the charm of the English countryside, the warmth of far-off places, and the delicate beauty of flowers. Every piece is painted with heart, wherever the inspiration takes me.
Welcome to my world of colour. Explore the gallery, and so lovely to have you here.
Telling stories with brush and pen
Painting has always been my way of capturing places, atmosphere and memories. Writing allows me to tell the stories that live alongside them — thoughts, observations and, sometimes, a little imagination.

‘I found I could say things with colour and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way — things I had no words for. ’
— Georgia O’Keeffe
Rose Garden
I love roses and I love painting flowers because of their delicacy and their colours.
