Cianne Fragione is known for her mixed-media works that often incorporate found objects and textiles into her oil paintings and collages. Over many years of developing and refining her artwork, Fragione has established herself as one of the key DMV artists and was one of the earliest artists that I selected for the Women Artists of the DMV show.
In the selection process for this one, one of the landmines that I am hoping to avoid – and will probably be unable to avoid – is to “skip” an artist that by all logic of the focus of the show, should be included. In order to minimize the damage of that landmine, as part of the selection process I’ve “crowdsourced” the nomination process and asked about two dozen or so DMV area art illuminati to help me develop the show by nominating 10 or so artists.
Fragione is one of those names who keeps coming up on multiple lists; evidence of this talented painter’s deep footprint in the DMV art scene.
Her work can be found in the permanent collections of the Baltimore Museum of Art, Cecil H. Green Library at Stanford University, and Georgetown College.
