Dale Bowen was born in Staffordshire in 1963 and now paints from his studio in North Devon. He had always been interested in painting from an early age and went on to study art at Newcastle-under-Lyme College.

Dale is a master potter & has worked in the industry for over 20 years, firstly for Coalport China and then for Wedgwood for the last 15 years. Working for Wedgewood in the Prestige Department, he created many one-off pieces for the collectors market and commissions. Many of these pieces were highly decorated and exclusive, fetching in some cases over £100,000. More recently he gained a master's degree in ceramics at Staffordshire University and exhibited privately in New York, Washington and San Francisco, including an Exclusive Masterpiece Collection in Japan for Wedgwood.
