My aim is to bring the World's leading Artist Agencies together, to join the ITSME Society and follow their progressive practices., from carbon net zero to diversity and inclusion. I started out as an illustrator in 1988, later founding Advocate Art in 1992. I have been on both sides of the Agent management table, understanding what it is to be a freelance illustrator, as well as being an agent through to running a global Artist Agency. I have been a senior manager or on the board of eight prominent artist-related businesses in me career of 35 years, but now I devotes my time to helping support Artists from beginners to professionals, as well as Artist Agencies with business advice and support finance."Im always happy to share my experiences of the industry to help new or established illustrators further their careers, I am especially passionate about seeing our E.F.E.C.T.S. charter make a real difference and leave a lasting legacy."
