Shana Danon creates vibrant paintings, prints and patterns from her Bondi studio, Emilio Frank Design.
Inspired by a passion for Mid Century modernism, Shana’s work celebrates form, function and colour with a touch of whimsy - intending to evoke joyful memory and happy spaces. Emilio Frank Design creates conversational pieces for those who love to live colourfully.
Shana endeavours to create locally, ethically and sustainably with small batch collections of limited edition prints, jewellery, textiles and stationery.
