Vincent Byron Taylor

We met Vincent at the Mill Valley Art's Festival. We hired him to create a dozen several square feet etched window panes. The panes feature seals underwater through kelp and a landscape scene of the seal rocks. These displays can be view at the Seal Rock Inn Bistro in San Francisco. We cherish these panels and invite others to view his work during restaurant opening hours.

I first met Vince at the Renaissance Faire @ Blackpoint sometime in the eighties. Asked him to make me three panels for a wall separating a facial area in my business. As my stepdad was installing them, he broke all three pieces.. loaded them in my trunk and took them back to Vince and he was able to rebuild and put them back together. Over the years, they sat in a storage shed for seven years as I moved to Idaho three years ago and finally opened them again they were intact. I´m so proud of...

Vince was a bright light in the Arts guild and in our Sonoma community. We were neighbors for several years and fellow artists. He encouraged me and supported my artmaking, collecting my work over the years and building a beautiful display for my sculpture in his home. We will definitely miss his presence in our lives.

All of the artists in Sonoma remember Vince fondly, a founding member of Arts Guild, Clay and Glass Assoc. member.mentor and friend to us all.He gave so much to our community. One of Sonoma great artists.

Oh Patricia, I´m so sorry to read of your darling Vince´s passing. I rarely see you both around Sonoma but always enjoyed our brief visits. Vince was so gentle, enthusiastic and talented. My sincere condolences.
