Extraordinary People: Ronnie Iannone and Falon Yeager
Mount Dora couple works together to bring beauty and tranquility into people’s homes.
Artists Ronnie Iannone and Falon Yeager have turned their passions into what has been dubbed “the coolest store” in Mount Dora.
At FYI Creations, the owners showcase their unique creations, including Ronnie’s world-famous “chill stick,” an evocative piece crafted from driftwood and adorned with ambient accents that exude tranquility.
“The idea sprouted when I wanted to bring the feel of the woods right into our living space,” Ronnie says. “Everyone who visited our home loved it. Every chill stick is a small testament to nature’s soothing ambiance.”
Chill sticks are only part of FYI Creations’ coolness.
Falon’s terracotta pottery and vivid acrylic pieces are adorned with landscapes and the intrinsic beauty of life that evoke emotions. They are a visual treat, filled with warm colors and intricate designs that resonate with many.
Through their artistic endeavors, Ronnie and Falon have emphasized the importance of collaboration and unity to create one-of-a-kind works of art.
