The Zany Dzigns of Diana Z

Beginning on May 11th, the Toonseum will exhibit "The Zany Dzigns of Diana Z." The exhibition will highlight artistic examples of Pittsburgh native Diana Zourelias-Noro's Work.

As a freelance artist, Diana's work has appeared in the hidden pictures of Highlights Magazine as well as in the humorous greeting cards of Ruscraft Cards, American Greetings and Hallmark . You may have also recognized her work with her line of popular gift wraps for Garven LLC., the Looney Toon characters of Trau and Loevner and even Pittsburgh icons such as the logos for both Dingbats and Abates.

In addition to her print work, Diana also appeared online with American Greetings and her comic series Granny's Garden, which followed the precocious life of a grandmother and her long adoration for floral and fauna.

Other works include her work for Dover Publications that includes "Monster Bugs" and "Monster Insects", Mix and Match Princesses, Celebrity Parents, Celebrity Kids Paper Dolls, Presidential Pets, Abraham Lincoln Activity Book, Fairyland Hidden Pictures and many more. These books will also be available for purchase, while supplies last.

Diana or "Mrs. Z", as her students call her, has been an illustration instructor for Oakbridge Academy of Arts for the past five years. At Oakbridge, she encourages her students to develop their skills as painters, cartoonists as well as develop their creative skills for the working artist.

The exhibit will feature a hidden picture wall for both adults and children to test their eye at finding all the hidden objects within the sketches as well as many more of her endlessly amusing Dzigns!
