Jim Bowman has been developing his expressions in glass for over 22 years. He received a Master of Fine Arts degree in Glass from California College of Arts & Crafts in 1988 and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Painting from Kansas City Art Institute in 1976. He currently works in Dallas, Texas, with his wife Mary Lynn Devereux and three assistants Laura Strother, Bob Millar, and Lawrence Vinyard.

Bowman has developed his artistic vision in many aspects of glass working, including architectural leaded glass, etched glass, kiln-worked glass, glass blowing and casting, and glass and mixed media sculpture. He has done many commissioned projects for public spaces, corporate environments, and residential installations, and also produced a large body of autonomous works in mixed media sculpture and blown glass vessels.

In 1995, Bowman created, with several partners, Hickory Street Hot Glass, in the Deep Ellum / Fair Park area of Dallas. In summer of 2001, Hickory Street Hot Glass was dissolved, and Jim Bowman, with his wife, Mary Lynn, established Bowman Glass Studio in the Cedars area of South Dallas, Dallas' newest up and coming downtown arts district.
