Born in Australia and educated at St James's School, Brisbane, Vincent Sheldon studied commercial art in the USA, 1920 and in England in 1924. Returning to Australia, he worked as a freelance cartoonist in Brisbane and in 1929 he attended the Central School of Arts and Crafts in Holborn, studying dry-point under W.P.Robins. During WWII he worked in a munitions factory but ill health forced his early retirement. After his death in 1945, a memorial exhibition was held in Brisbane in 1948. His work is held by the University of Queensland, the Queensland Art Gallery as well as by the British Museum.
