Two of Gowan's graphite drawings were selected by the United States Department of State ART in Embassies Program to hang in the official residence of the US Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan.
George-Ann DeVilbiss Gowan was born in Corpus Christi, Texas in 1948. Her initial art training was at William and Mary, from which she graduated magna cum laude with a degree in Fine Art. In Connecticut, her residence since 1970, she pursued further studies with watercolorist Edgar Whitney and egg tempera artist Richard Carroll. She has also worked extensively with Russian artist Yuri Vaschenko since 1995.
Several of her works are included in Charles Ewing’s book, The New Scratchboard, Clay-Surface Techniques for Today’s Artists (Watson Guptill, 2001) and her work has been reviewed in Art New England.
George-Ann lives and works in Kent, Connecticut.
