Vincent Thomas (b. 1997, East Waco, Texas) is an artist and designer whose practice centers on representation, memory, and public presence. Working primarily through painting and large-scale murals, Thomas creates images that honor Black and Brown communities with intimacy, restraint, and narrative care. His work often blends portraiture with symbolic environments such as gardens, classrooms, interiors, and civic spaces where history and lived experience intersect.
Thomas began drawing at a young age and later studied Visual Communications Technology at Texas State Technical College. Over the past decade, his practice has expanded from studio work into public art, completing more than twenty murals across Waco and surrounding areas. His projects engage themes of heritage, education, and collective growth, frequently situated in schools and community spaces. In addition to his studio practice, Thomas is the Founder of A Beautiful Message and Co-Founder of BLACCENT, initiatives dedicated to mentorship, access, and cultural investment through the arts.
