Irene Vincent
Irene Vincent has exhibited her work throughout the United States and around the world for more than 40 years. She has taught art since the early 1980s. Her artwork has won awards and has been published many times. Irene began painting in the 1970s. Influenced early on by science-fiction movies, Irene became fascinated by other realities and by the ways different cultures represented the realities people created for themselves. It was natural for her to love surrealism and symbolism. A near-death experience at age nine added to her curiosity about the esoteric arts. These early experiences became an important source of inspiration for her paintings. Since around 1984, Irene has explored shamanism, mysticism, and the sacred through her artwork. Her imagery comes from dreams, visionary experiences, and spontaneous painting techniques. The content, symbolism, and technical expression of Irene’s paintings are interwoven with her philosophical contemplations, visionary experiences, and life experiences. She has traveled throughout the United States, Europe, Greece, Egypt, Mexico, Central America, South America, Tahiti, Thailand, Spain, Bali, and India, visiting art museums, ancient ruins, temples, and experiencing the cultures and people of these places. Irene paints in acrylics and oils, including oil glazing techniques, as well as various egg tempera and oil techniques. Because she works with intricate details and multiple layers of paint, her original paintings often take many hours to complete, but the luminous vibrant qualities make it worth it.
Irene has published two memoir books: The Artist Awakens and Awakening Love’s Vibrations.
