Astrid Lempriere is a Geelong-based visual artist whose intricate lino prints explore portraiture, emotion, and the quiet weight of lived experience. Inspired by black-and-white photography and a deep curiosity for human expression, Astrid has developed a distinctive printmaking voice—one that captures the complexity of feeling through the simplicity of carved line and contrast.

This new series of four works—Quiet Panic, See It Through, Recharge Required, and Community Found—continues her exploration of emotional states, drawing from moments that often go unspoken. Each piece presents a figure in a suspended, reflective moment: holding pressure no one sees, emerging from distortion, withdrawing to regroup, or blooming in the company of others.

These works honour the internal landscapes we carry. They speak to the strength in softness, the humour in hardship, and the deep need to be seen and understood. Astrid’s practice—self-taught beyond a Cert III in Visual Arts—is shaped by her neurodivergent perspective, bringing a raw clarity and tenderness to each piece. Her work invites viewers to find parts of themselves in the silence between lines, in the mood behind each posture.

Astrid has exhibited across both regional and Melbourne galleries, earning several highly commended awards. Alongside her practice, she runs lino printing workshops that nurture creativity and connection within the Geelong community.

This series is a celebration of quiet strength and emotional honesty—for those who carry, retreat, endure, and emerge.
