Photos: Eamon White shows Full Circle of artwork

Eamon White shows some of his early work Friday evening to Julianna Monts at his show, Full Circle, at LA Arts on Lisbon Street in Lewiston. The show traces a circle from White’s earliest drawings and paintings, through his printmaking and shoe design pieces, and finally his work as an educator, where he has shared his passion for shoe design. White’s show also features work from his father and grandmother. White credits the time he spent creating art with his family as his most significant artistic influence. White will return to LA Arts on April 8 with another shoe designer, Dara Kheang, to present a free shoe customization and design workshop. The workshop is open to all ages. Andree Kehn/Sun Journal
