Vincent was born in West Sussex but grew up and has spent most of his life in Northern Ireland. He qualified from the Art & Design College, Belfast, with a degree in Graphic Design, specialising in illustration and silk-screen printing.
His main area of interest is portraiture and figurative work using various media. He has developed his art in several directions. He often includes elements of symbolism and surrealism in his paintings and enjoys working from memory and imagination. His enjoyment and exploration of art making is such that he refuses to be tied down to any particular style.
