Michael J. Vincent

Born in Suffolk in 1949 I have been a painter and writer throughout my life. My inspiration is found in nature in front of the living, vibrant landscape where painting becomes both a connection to our precious Earth and an act of deep meditation. I specialise in gouache and oil painting using reproductions of my work to illustrate my published books and articles. Several of my paintings have become limited edition prints and my work is in public and private collections worldwide. In 2005 I qualified as a Level 2 Reiki Practitioner (Shekinashram, Glastonbury). A lifelong interest in meditation culminated in a deepening understanding of Self Enquiry, the Practice at the root of all spiritual disciplines. My first book on this ancient and profound Practice was completed in India and published in 2010; my second book followed in 2016. I have introduced the Practice to many groups and individuals notably over the last ten years. I now live in the village of Kessingland on the Suffolk Coast, with my daughter Jennifer and our two rescue dogs, a lurcher and greyhound. Although "retired" I continue to write, paint and meditate meeting up with individuals and small groups keen to learn more of this Practice and my work. Website: michaelvincentartworks.com
