Virtual Program: A Painter's Journey Into the Garden

For the past three decades, artist Christian Brechneff has often traded his traditional artistic studio for the expansive possibilities of a global odyssey. Immersing himself in terrains both near and far—from Lunuganga in tropical Sri Lanka to the Aegean Island of Sifnos—he has had the privilege of painting in some of the most exquisite and heretofore unrecorded gardens of world-class tastemakers around the world. 

Join us for this webinar, as Christian shares stories of his travels and his interesting experiences along the way, as captured in his latest book, Into the Garden (Glitterati, Inc., 2019).

ABOUT CHRISTIAN BRECHNEFF

In 1975, he received a master of art degree from the Royal College of Art in London. He has exhibited in Europe and the United States and has won numerous awards, including the Swiss Federal Government Scholarship.
