The Well of Roswell is presenting a set of works by artist Meagan Murphy titled “The Egyptian Gods and Goddesses: Unleash Your Ancient Essence” now through December 9.
A multimedia producer and artist, Murphy specializes in portraiture and documentary film. She worked for PBS in Boston, where she produced award-winning content. Following a transformational tour through Egypt in 2011, she sketched and researched many of the deities she saw there.
“With so many of us having strong past-life ties to Egypt, the exhibit is powerful,” says Becky Arrington, co-owner of The Well. “The energy of each of the gods and goddesses comes through and speaks to the viewer.” ❧
