Eamonn Shanahan

Theatre Director Visual Artist Photographer

I am a professional in the arts and culture industry continually practicing as a visual artist and director of people and things, sharing stories and advocating the role of creativity in communities, presenting ideas that promote change and demystifies boundaries. Through the lens, within and beyond the borders of the proscenium and expressed across the canvas, I strive to capture with pride the stories and moments, portraits and places of our world and it’s many emotional constructs. I aim to endorse the strength and power of the arts and artists in all that I apply myself to and with all I encounter.
