Guest Post - Devereau Chumrau - Vibrant Coffin Art from Ghana

This guest post is from actor Devereau Chumrau.

Devereau Chumrau in Ghana

Devereau may be a native of Los Angeles, but it is also the time she spent in Ghana, in Europe and the UK, and largely as a student of the Asolo Conservatory in Florida, that has shaped her vision as an actor and as an artist. She has, all along the way, worked to develop her interest and experience in acting for the stage and for the screen.

Catch her show LOVECRAFT: Nightmare Suite through March 2 at the Visceral Company in Hollywood.

Devereau:

While I've seen along the roadside and in the smaller villages some pretty elaborately decorated coffins in my time in Ghana, brightly colored and festive, this collection of coffin art is far more spectacular, nearly Ancient Egyptian in it scale and details.
