  Amy is the Talent Manager at Artistique - with over 15 years as an agency. Amy’s deeply passionate about illustration and this industry. She brings all this expertise to her behind the scenes work - directly benefitting her agency’s artists. She invests as much time as possible promoting the agency and the artists' work. When it comes to the projects -  consider her here to make things easier for both the artist and the client.
  

  
  

  It's hugely important for Amy to fully understand the artists she works with; regarding the direction they'd like their career to go in and their process. This is so she can find the right areas of work that suit them, and give every artist the support/ opportunities to make the latest project their best work.  

  
  

  In this role and previous roles she has had the pleasure of working with clients such as The Wellcome Collection, The Guardian, Lush Cosmetics, Luxe Brands, Washington Post, Penguin, Kiehls, Adidas, Bloomsbury, Flying Eye, True Religion, Selfridges, Hearts and Science and the V&A. 

  
  

  To conclude, it's the best feeling in the world for her to match a talented artist with equally talented creatives, and she also gets to follow the project from the start to its inspirational conclusion.

  Alison

  Mi sono laureata in Economia e Storia dell’Arte alla SUNY Oswego, oltre che ad una laurea minore in Studio Art. Ho avuto l’onore di aver partecipato come relatrice alla New York Conference on Asian Studies (NYCAS, Conferenza di New York sugli studi asiatici) e, precedentemente, i miei lavori sono stati esposti in varie gallerie a nord dello stato di New York.

  Mi sono laureata in Economia e Storia dell’Arte alla SUNY Oswego, oltre che ad una laurea minore in Studio Art. Ho avuto l’onore di aver partecipato come relatrice alla New York Conference on Asian Studies (NYCAS, Conferenza di New York sugli studi asiatici) e, precedentemente, i miei lavori sono stati esposti in varie gallerie a nord dello stato di New York. Adoro lavorare con strumenti tradizionali quali pastelli e gli acrilici, ma mi diverte molto anche sfidare me stessa con strumenti meno familiari. Sono diventata un’agente per artisti dopo aver diretto per qualche anno la più grande risorsa di referenze aziendali di Enterprise nell’area dei tre stati (New York, New Jersey e Pennsylvania). Con più di 17,000 clienti al giorno, sono orgogliosa di aver assicurato a tutti loro uno servizio fantastico in entrambe le società. Ho portato quella stessa energia anche qui qualche anno fa, dove sono stata felice di poter unire le mie lauree e la mia esperienza per poter offrire la più agevole direzione intelligente dell’artista ai nostri clienti in continua crescita e alla base artistica come Global Manager di Artistique.

  Vince

  Vince Verma sa cos’é il perfezionismo. L’artista grafico nato a Devon, il cui lavoro é stato esibito in tutto il mondo, insiste nel lavorare scrupolosamente con la matita: non ha il solito orario di lavoro ( le sue rappresentazioni fotorealistiche vengono create lavorando a notte fonda per giorni e giorni) ed é quasi matematico nel suo approccio fortemente dettagliato. La storia di Verna é molto interessante: l’artista é cresciuto a Devon da g...

  Vince Verma sa cos’é il perfezionismo. L’artista grafico nato a Devon, il cui lavoro é stato esibito in tutto il mondo, insiste nel lavorare scrupolosamente con la matita: non ha il solito orario di lavoro ( le sue rappresentazioni fotorealistiche vengono create lavorando a notte fonda per giorni e giorni) ed é quasi matematico nel suo approccio fortemente dettagliato. La storia di Verna é molto interessante: l’artista é cresciuto a Devon da genitori illustratori e come parte di una comunità creativa, imparando tutto come auto-didatta. Ha iniziato a disegnare da bambino ed ha ricevuto la sua prima commissione professionale all’età di 17 anni, da li si é poi creato un seguito internazionale per i suoi lavori. “Ricordo di aver sempre disegnato”, spiega Verna, “non ho mai pensato di fare nient’altro. Non lo ritengo neanche un lavoro, semplicemente faccio quello che faccio.” Oggi lavora tra il suo studio nel North Yorkshire rurale e il suo appartamento a Soho-Manhattan.
