About Jim

James Bowen began his artistic voyage into the world of mosaics several years ago. Fascinated by the art history, he admired the ancient mosaics that the Roman Empire spread across the land in their epic quest. Bowen explains. "Mosaics are timeless and are some of the oldest art forms that still exists. They capture light like no other medium." He learned the art at workshops New York City and Ravenna, Italy.

Bowen pioneered mosaic art  on Cape Cod, teaching his craft at The Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill and through private workshops before founding the mosaic program here at Cape Cod Community College. His work has been shown during the Society of American Mosaic Artists annual convention and at local galleries and art associations, and can be found at restaurants on Cape Cod as well as private homes here and abroad. In November of 2009 he was featured in an article on Mosaic artists in Cape Cod Magazine.
