Gary Gowen was born in Billings, MT. He came to New York City after college to embark on a career in opera, but the magnificent vistas of Big Sky Country were indelibly stamped on his memory. They were the inspiration for his love of photography.

An avid landscape photographer since early childhood, he continued to pursue this interest along with his music. In his travels across the country and abroad for musical performances, his camera was a constant companion. His camera of choice is his Mamiya 7II, a Medium Format film camera that is able to capture the smallest details and the most intense color saturation. He has exhibited his works in shows locally and in Philadelphia.

Gary and his wife Norma have been residents of Teaneck since 1993. He continues to find inspiration in the natural beauty of New Jersey and New York.

- Do you feel butterflies in your stomach when you are nervously excited about something? Do your neck muscles tighten when you feel stressed? At the most basic level, this is reflective of the mind-body connection. One’s thoughts have a direct affect on one’s body. Judgmental thoughts, a victim consciousness, and the inability to achieve one’s desires in areas such as relationships, career, life goals, and self-image, amougst other things, all create an imbalance of the body at the cellular level, which years later manifests as cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses. We will discuss how you can bring you body back into balance to help alleviate illnesses you are currently experiencing, as well as to avoid attracting future illnesses, and to live a more balanced, happy, and productive life, based on YOUR desires.
