James K. Vincent is a native of Riverton,WY. His grandfather was a homesteader in the Wind River country, near the Arapahoe and Shoshone Reservations. An appreciation for the land and it's beauty was developed on many "exploring trips" along the backroads of Wyoming with his father.
James feels fortunate to have lived two very different lives, the first in the high tech world of interventional cardiology and the second as a pastel artist. At age 20 there was a great debate about pursuing art verses medicine. Eventually medical school won the debate. Drawing continued for him as a hobby but his art became repairing obstructed arteries.
James spent a year spent in Florence, Italy studying art and architecture. This experience changed his view of the world. It is now clear to him that he is an artist who became a physician. Over the past 15 years he has studied with Carolyn Thayer, Jeff Schaezle, Joe Trakimas, Loren Entz, Mike Caskey,Aaron Schuerr and G. Russell Case.
In the past two years he has started working in oil and acrylic paint. This has allowed him to work larger, exploring texture and color with brush and palette knife. The goal of his work is to portray the soul of the landscape, combining strong shapes, good design and compelling color in a unique style.
