  Alison

  I graduated from SUNY Oswego with degrees in Economics and Art History, as well as with a minor in Studio Art. I have been honored to be a featured speaker at the New York Conference on Asian Studies (NYCAS) and before that, I have been exhibited in several art galleries in Upstate NY. I love working traditionally with colored pencil and acrylic, but I enjoy the challenge of less familiar mediums as well. I became an artist agent after a few years of managing Enterprise’s largest corporate referral source relationship in the tri-state area. With more than 17,000 rolling clients on a daily basis, I took pride in making sure all of our clients had exceptional experiences with both companies. I’ve brought that same energy to this industry a few years back, where I have enjoyed combining my degrees and experience to deliver seamless intelligent artist management to our ever-growing client and artist base as the Global Manager of Artistique.

  Vince

  Vince Verma understands perfectionism. The Devon-born graphic artist, whose work has been exhibited around the world, insists on working painstakingly with pencil; doesn’t keep usual working hours (his photorealist renderings are created through working late into the night for days on end) and is almost mathematical in his intensely detailed approach.

  Verma’s story is fascinating. The artist was raised in Devon by illustrator parents as part of a creative commune and was entirely self-taught. He started drawing from childhood and received his first professional commission at 17. From there he has built an international following for his works. “I’ve been drawing since I can remember,” explains Verma. “I never considered doing anything else. I don’t even see it as a job. I just do, what I do.” Today he works in a remote studio in rural North Yorkshire and at his home apartment in Soho -Manhattan.

  Chris Herriott

  Based down on the sunny south coast, my background is in the arts, first as an actor then as a writer and producer, which led me to work working as a voice over agent and at TV/film production companies. During this time I worked with artists on various projects for Advertising agencies and television production companies, including a World Cup Nike Commercial, High End content for Jaguar Land Rover and the Re-booted iconic Thunderbirds Are Go.
  Working on projects such as these has given me over 5 years experience with advertising agencies and brands directly, which is where my passion lies. I thrive in being the conduit being the artist and the client, discovering new clients and delivering high end projects.

  Christine Modafferi

  Ciao! My name is Chris and I am the Senior Art Agent here at Advocate, working closely with our wonderful Italian clients. Before my role here, I worked on children's illustrated books at Penguin Random House, Bloomsbury and Scholastic in London. I loved working with Advocate as their client so much that I had to be part of the team! I now live by the seaside in Italy with my partner, so that I am able to travel easily to see my clients and artists whenever needed. Hope to speak to you soon.

  Devon Rosenberger

  I am an agent working between the UK and EU helping French and English-speaking clients find amazing artists for their projects.
  
  An Art Historian by training, I have worked in museums from the Philadelphia Museum of Art in the USA to the Museo Correale di Terranova in Sorrento, Italy, helping to present art to every visitor in an exciting way through the curatorial department. After earning a BA in French and a Master’s in Art History from the University of St Andrews, I moved from the United States to London, where I’m currently based.
  
  As an avid traveller, I have also lived, studied, and worked in France, Italy, and Australia. This love of travel made me committed to learning French as a second language. My experience in the art world invigorates my passion about increasing the accessibility of art in everyday life. I am eager to perfectly match English and French-speaking artists and clients together to collaborate on exciting projects.
