EARS ART BY GAIL BOWEN-EARS COUGAR
|
Gail Bowen became aware of the endangered status of tigers while traveling in India and Nepal over 20 years ago. She rode on the back of an elephant in the Royal Chitwan region to gain a first hand glimpse at the majestic tiger in his natural environment.
Since that experience, Gail has studied and read extensively and has become an advocate for big cats. She began volunteering 30 years ago, and 5 years later founded her own facility-Imperial farms, today known as EARS.
Gail's extensive knowledge of exotics and her willingness to share this knowledge has culminated in the creation of a student internship program at EARS. Students have come from colleges and universities throughout the United States, as well as many other countries, for the opportunity to learn from Gail. She also serves as a mentor to many other sanctuaries, and is sought out as an expert by the media because of her years of experience and excellent safety practices.
Gail is extremely dedicated to the residents of EARS. Her mission is to give the best quality of life possible to every single creature living at the sanctuary. Even with the help of volunteers and staff, the daily work is never-ending & physically demanding, yet, it is never thankless. The animals truly are thankful to have a safe, secure, and loving home for life.
Gail is also an accomplished artist and, if time permits, she plans on adding her work to the EARS Gift Shop. Here are some of Gail's paintings above. Click on any painting to go to Gail's Art Gallery to view all of her EARS Art!
