Captivating Art: The Rocks Markets

Shana Danon's artistic journey began in Sydney, nurtured by a family of skilled artisans. Her childhood, filled with handmade creations and vibrant colours, laid the foundation for her passion. Despite detours into hospitality and art administration, her love for interiors led to "Organised Clutter," emphasizing decluttering and sustainable practices. In 2015, she launched Emilio Frank Design, honouring her grandparents, after completing a visual arts diploma. Danon's creative process starts with hand-drawn sketches, evolving into acrylic or mixed media works. Inspired by Mid-Century modernism, nature, and Sydney's architecture, her art features bold colours and organic geometric abstraction. Her love for dachshunds, inherited from her grandmother, sparked a line of homewares. Sydney's iconic landmarks and landscapes significantly influence her work. She cherishes The Rocks Market for its stunning location, camaraderie with fellow makers, and interactions with diverse customers.

Discover the remarkable talent of Ping Lian Yeak at The Rocks Markets. A prodigy at 11 and today a mature painter of 22, Ping Lian Yeak has created a body of work that stands out as some of the liveliest art of the past decade. Yeak is an autistic savant who creates beautiful, detailed depictions of animals and great architectural sites. He works in acrylic, oil, watercolor, charcoal, and ink, sometimes combining multiple media, to make spirited images that recall both Impressionism and the grand nature studies of Romanticism.
