His wife Juliet Peter was also a New Zealand potter, printmaker, and sculptor. Early lifeRoy Cowan, the son of New Zealand writer James Cowan, was born in Wellington on 5 January 1918.[1] His mother, Eileen, was the daughter of Ngāpuhi interpreter and genealogist Henry Stowell.[2] Cowan was educated at Wellington College,[2] and he then went to Teachers Training College in Wellington, where he first met artist Roland Hipkins, who influenced and encouraged his artistic pursuits.[3] From 1940 to 1945 he served in the New Zealand Fleet Air Arm.[3] In 1952 he married potter Juliet Peter.[2] CareerCowan held his very first exhibition at the French Maid Coffee House in 1947.[4] He also held exhibitions at New Zealand’s first modern dealer gallery, the Wellington-based Helen Hitchings Gallery.[4] In 1953, he travelled with Juliet Peter to London, where he studied at the Slade School of Fine Art through an Association of New Zealand Art Societies Scholarship.[5] He worked for the Education Department in the School Publications branch from 1955. The following year, he began beginning experimenting with pottery, and resigned from the Education Department in 1959 to become a full-time potter.[1] In an interview in Art New Zealand, Cowan and Peter's “most significant contribution to modernism” was described as “studio pottery – both through their own pottery, and their contribution to the New Zealand Potter magazine which they helped start in 1957.”[4] Their contribution to ceramics is “significant” as they operated largely outside of Bernard Leach’s pervasive teachings which emphasised Anglo-Oriental pottery practices.[4] At a time when knowledge and use of oil-fired kilns in New Zealand was limited, Cowan built and experimented with oil-fired kilns, assisting other potters and contributing to wider knowledge of kiln-building and firing.[1][3] In 1966 he was awarded a QEII Arts Council grant to study kiln design, firing processes and material.[3] Cowan worked for the QEII Arts Council and the Department of Foreign Affairs as a commissioner, curating touring exhibitions of New Zealand art for international audiences. As well as exhibiting with the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts, he worked on its Council.[6][7] In 1999 Cowan was included in The Eighties Show at The Dowse Art Museum, an exhibition of artists who were still active in their eighties, including Doreen Blumhardt, John Drawbridge, Juliet Peter, and Avis Higgs.[8] His work was shown alongside Juliet Peter’s in 2014 at The Dowse Art Museum in A Modest Modernism: Roy Cowan and Juliet Peter.[9] HonoursIn 1945, Cowan was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire in recognition of his service in the Fleet Air Arm during World War II.[10] In 1988, he was awarded the Governor-General Art Award and made a Fellow of the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts.[11] He was made a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to pottery in the 2000 New Year Honours.[12] CollectionsCowan’s work is held in the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, The Dowse Art Museum, and the Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetu.[9][13][14] He created a large scale ceramic wall mural for the 1970 World Expo in Osaka,[15] and a mural for the foyer of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand in Wellington.[3][16] Another mural, Modern Madonna, was commissioned for the Wellington Cathedral of Saint Paul.[17] References1. ^1 2 {{cite book|last1=Cape|first1=Peter|title=Artists and Craftsmen in New Zealand|date=1969|publisher=Collins|location=Auckland, London|pages=29–35|url=http://natlib.govt.nz/records/21478341}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Cowan, Roy}}2. ^1 2 {{cite news | title=Labour of love a lasting legacy | date=27 July 2006 | work=Dominion Post | page=7 | first=Diana | last=Dekker}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite book|last1=Blumhardt|first1=Doreen|last2=Brake|first2=Brian|title=Craft New Zealand: The art of the craftsman|date=1981|publisher=A.H. & A.W.
