As a child, Vincent was never satisfied with his drawings and sketches.  He wanted the figures to come off the paper so he could view them properly.  While working on a history degree in the early 1990s, he took a sculpture course as an elective and was instantly hooked.  Since then, Vincent has been utilizing traditional bronze-casting techniques to produce art that reflects his lifelong fascination with the Sci-Fi and Fantasy genres.

Vincent has received numerous awards and commissions.  He was awarded Best 3-D at World Fantasy 2006 and a Body of Work award at World Fantasy 2007.   In 2009, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America commissioned him to design and produce the Ray Bradbury Award, which was presented to Joss Whedon.  He has had art published in Spectrum 14, 15 and 16.  In 2008 and 2009 he was the recipient of the Chesley Award for Best 3-D.

Vincent is a current member of the Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists.  He is a past member of the Texas Sculpture Association and the Texas Society of Sculptors. He currently lives in north Texas with his wife Michelle.
