Life
Bowers was born in London, the United Kingdom where he studied graphic art and sculpture. He later worked as a freelance advertiser after he opened a photographic studio in London. In 1981, along with his family, he visited Seychelles on holiday before he decided to move into the country permanently in 1986.[1]
In 2014, he was commissioned by the government of Seychelles to design the Liberty Monument which replaced the old Zom Libb monument.[2] Bowers has a sculpture studio in Anse a la Mouche, Seychelles.[3]
