Dreams of Lucca

BARBARA MATHES GALLERY, New York

Diefenbach’s lyrical paintings, sculptures and works on paper explore the ancient landscape of Tuscany and our complex interaction with the natural world.


La Costanza

BARBARA MATHES GALLERY, New York

The works in this exhibition are connected by their ability to conjure the nature and culture of the place that inspired them, and by their remarkable sensitivity to form.


Pecore: recent sculpture

Italian cultural institute, San Francisco, CA

The artist documents the Massese sheep: the animals, their shepherd, and the harsh beauty of their home serve her as both muse and metaphor.


Silente: The Inner dialogue

Aria art gallery, Florence, Italy

Diefenbach offers her viewers the opportunity for that same satisfying exhalation of contentment and calm that characterized her own discovery of Camaiore a decade ago.
