Roederick Vines was born in Toledo, Ohio. He began painting at the tender age and became a full-time artist at the age of nineteen. His studies include Fine Art and Illustration at the Columbus College of Art and Design in Columbus, Ohio.

A deeply religious person, Vines acknowledges his talent and creativity as gifts from God. He never runs out of material to paint, he says, because of this divine inspiration.

Vines’ themes are varied and diverse; from the secular to the spiritual. He says ideas come from all around him: the neighborhood movie theater, a Caribbean beach, a courtroom scene, but, above all, from the stories in the Bible. His images are predominantly people, usually in motion, coming or going, dancing, running. Just like the artist himself, his subjects never sit still. But he is as versatile as he is prolific and can easily switch to an abstract mode of expression if that is where ‘the spirit’ takes him.
