Art
Frank's career has evolved around many design-based undertakings including Fashion and Fine Art Dealing. In the past decade urban renewal projects including the design and set up of Street Markets as part of the special urban environments for Oxford Street Paddington, Sydney's Rocks precinct, the Colonades at East Circular Quay and Fox Studios have been under taken. Such projects where social cultural and economic factors are married to design, art and performance are the current inspiration.
