B. Jane Cowie has been working with glass for over 25 years.  Gaining a degree in Visual Arts from Sydney College of the Arts (1980-1983), her commitment to art making, desire to learn and passion for glass inspired her to travel extensively.  She worked in numerous glass making studio and factories in Australia, England, Europe, USA, Japan, Singapore, India and China to develop making skills, increase her knowledge and gain an intimate understanding of glassmaking technique, expertise and installation applications.

Traveling extensively in England and Europe in her 20’s, Jane was keen to learn more about the neighbouring countries closer to her Australian home.  Deciding to move to Singapore to in 2003 to take the position as Glass Lecturer at the Lasalle SIA College of the Arts, Jane remained keen on developing her practice as an artist, soon finding a new position as Glass Artist & Designer at an Architectural Glass Company in Singapore.  She worked with this company for 4 years, establishing a Hot Glass Studio in Singapore while developing a new interest in large scale architectural art glass installations.
