Marilyn Monroe is a wonderful portrait of the iconic star, executed in classic Canzano style; smudged pressed colour underpinning flourishes of detail and adornment in loose pastel sketching.

Dionne Canzano is a mid-career artist whose figurative work embodies veils of blended colour and dry pastel lines. Thematically, she explores subjects close to her heart, such as Elvis Presley and Australian magpies, as well as wild and domestic animals. Although her works possesses a soft, dream-like quality, there is also wildness to the imagery. Canzano has worked at Arts Project for 20 years and presented her first solo in 2003. Her work has been featured in numerous group exhibitions and is held the National Gallery of Victoria, as gifted by Stuart Purves, as well as corporate and private collections in worldwide.
