The Peruvian Amazon: Beauty and Destruction

Wednesday, February 25th, 6:30 pm

Take this uncommon opportunity to travel with North Carolina artist David Hewson, far from his Sandhill’s roots, into the remote jungles and villages of Peru. Learn about an obscure but important part of the world and what is happening there in 2009.

The artist has been bearing witness to gross environmental contamination resulting from oil drilling in the jungle; abuses by multi-national corporations that have gone under-reported world-wide.

David will give a slide presentation on his past two years living in Iquitos on the banks of the Amazon; a place where mythological spirits are still part of daily life. Indian legends, shamanistic healing and ancient plant medicines are the inspiration for David's recent artwork now on display in the gallery.

Please RSVP. Seating for this event is limited.
