Growing up in a family of art collectors, I developed an appreciation for the arts very early on. I would often find myself buried in art books and visiting museums at home and abroad whenever I traveled. My love for the field led me to pursue my studies in Art History at McGill University.

Elizabeth Sanders
My love of Art History began early on. As a child, whenever my parents and I travelled we visited world renowned museums and spent hours walking through them looking at artwork from different periods and styles. The combination of aesthetic intrigue, historical context and cultural significance drew me into the paintings.

Mélodie Brassard
My passion for Art History began in College. Before I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in the art world, I was interested in a myriad of subjects including Literature, History, and the Classics. I was far from an artistic child and was more curious about the creation of knowledge. I believe my affinity for culture laid the seeds for my eventual love for Art History.

Robin Rosenberg
For as long as I can remember, art was a subject that captured my interest. Dating back to my high school days, learning about the requisite Canadian Art History highlights such as the Group of Seven ignited a spark inside of me. I quickly took to the subject and ravaged through every art book I could find. My love for the field led me to pursue a degree in Art History from McGill University. Post-graduation, I was confronted with the daunting prospect of entering the work force. My dedication to the arts combined with invaluable advice from one of my professors led me to pursue a career as an art advisor. I worked closely with curators from major corporations and assisted them in sourcing artworks for their collections.
In the 1990s, the financial downturn affected many businesses and the art market was no exception. This led me to shift gears temporarily and I was recruited to work as a professional fundraiser. Due to the reputation I established in my early working years, together with the relationships that I built during my philanthropic ventures, I could successfully pursue my ultimate career as a private art dealer and advisor. In 2009, I established Robin Rosenberg Fine Art.
Three decades of collecting experience has provided me with a discriminating eye and many collectors turn to me to blend my art history knowledge, my aesthetic sensibility, and my extensive network of global contacts when buying or selling an artwork. I am proud to have garnered the respect of collectors and other art professionals alike due to my high level of integrity and discretion.
My passion for good quality fine art continues to flourish. And now, I am equally passionate about my clients and in helping them build exceptional collections. One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is to help make that special connection between the art and the collector.

Growing up in family of art collectors, I developed an appreciation for the arts very early on. I would often find myself buried in art books and visiting museums at home and abroad whenever I travelled. My love for the field led me to pursue my studies in Art History at McGill University. During my time as an undergraduate, I had the privilege of interning at Christie’s auction house in New York City, as well as working part-time for Robin Rosenberg Fine Art. These opportunities provided me glimpses of what it is like to work in the arts and truly enhanced my academic experience.
After graduation, I went on to complete a Master’s degree in Art History at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London. My thesis specialized in the intersectionality of fashion and art with a particular focus on documentary photography.
Upon my return from England, I began working for Robin Rosenberg Fine Art full-time as an Associate Director. I feel passionate about my clients and enjoy helping them take the steps to build a quality collection they love and appreciate.

My love of Art History began early on. As a child, whenever my parents and I travelled we visited world-renowned museums and spent hours walking through them looking at artwork from different periods and styles. The combination of aesthetic intrigue, historical context and cultural significance drew me into the paintings. That’s the great thing about art: regardless of your background, there is always something that draws you in, makes you feel something, and, if you’re open to it, learn something.
After high school, I pursued an undergraduate degree at Concordia University in their Art History and Films Studies program. This decision derived from an interest in contemporary art, as well as from an enthusiasm for conversations surrounding creative endeavors. During my time at Concordia, I wrote for academic journals, galleries, worked as a facilitator in various capacities and participated in art historical conferences. In my final year, I had the privilege of interning at Robin Rosenberg Fine Art where I worked firsthand with incredible artworks and had the opportunity to engage with clients with whom I shared an appreciation for visual culture.
My new role within RRFA as a Special Projects Coordinator reflects my passion for the arts, my interest in building timeless artistic collections and my dedication to interpersonal relationships. The contemporary art world is ever-changing, and it is exciting to be an integral part of a team that is committed to its development.

I was far from an artistic child and was more curious about the creation of knowledge. I believe my affinity for culture laid the seeds for my eventual love for Art History.
After graduating summa cum laude from Jean-de-Brébeuf College in Arts, Letters and Communication, I attended Université du Québec à Montréal to complete a Bachelor’s degree in Art History, with a focus on architecture and contemporary art. This decision came from inspiring experiences visiting art museums and an eager desire to learn more about aesthetic movements and their historical contexts. My love of education and yearning for cultural experiences also motivated me to study abroad for six months in Strasbourg, France, where I studied Ancient, Medieval and Renaissance art. Today, I am a graduate student at Concordia University, completing a Master’s degree in Translation Studies.
I now have the amazing opportunity to work for Robin Rosenberg Fine Art as a Project Coordinator, where I can apply my vast knowledge of Art History into an energized, gratifying and enriching practice. RRFA Art is a stimulating workplace with a bright and dedicated team and I count myself lucky to work alongside them every day. I believe that the quality of our work reveals our deep love for art and, most importantly, our dedication to our clients and their art collections.
