Rediscovering Constance von Briesen
A multitalented artist and craftswoman, Constance von Briesen (1915–2000) lived for nearly fifty years in southern California, making her home in Rustic Canyon. Her landscape paintings, watercolors, and drawings offer an exquisite close-up view of the California terrain, capturing creeks, root systems, bare trees, and drought-stricken desert. Learn more about Rediscovering Constance von Briesen on the Lisa Smith Wengler Center for the Arts website.
