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 Sales Manager of Artistique.

  Vince Verma

  Vince Verma understands perfectionism.

  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.
