Cianne Fragione is from Washington, DC. She has a M.F.A in Painting and Mixed Medium from John F. Kennedy University, in Orinda, California, and a B.A. in Fine Art and Mixed Media from Goddard College, Plainfield, Vermont.  Cianne Fragione is a painter and an assemblage artist, and she conducts herself in both mediums with originality and invention, a high level of facility, and unusual sensitivity to the intrinsic personality of each as a medium.  Although we typically regard these two formats as distinct, even dissimilar, one significant aspect of Fragione’s practice has been her effort to find ways of unifying them into an effective, harmonious form, and then learning how to channel the lessons of these experiences throughout her work.
