Meet The Team

Divinia Rigler

With years of customer services experience and a keen resolve that CollectorsPrints was the company she wanted her career to progress with, Divinia quickly became an integral part of our team. After seeing the company through several stages of development, Divinia's flexibility and knowledge of the CollectorsPrints customers and artists is invaluable.

Divinia gained a first class degree in photography and has exhibited her works at several prestigious venues, such as The Millais Gallery.

Divinia was the only student during her studies to sell her work to a collector. It was during lectures by Charlotte Cotton, curator of photography at the V&A museum, that Divinia first began to consider a career working behind the scenes in the art industry.

Photography continues to be much more than a passing interest for Divinia. She is an excellent advisor on contemporary photographers, and several of our customers rely on her expertise. As well as regularly attending photography events and exhibitions, and attending to the CollectorsPrints photographers, she is very knowledgeable on the subject of contemporary photography, especially highly compositional photography such as that of Nick Waplington, Cindy Sherman and Hannah Starkey.

Lisa Smith

Since joining Collectors prints Lisa has brought a fresh outlook to the company with 9 years customer service experience and several years running a business with her husband she is an excellent asset to the company. Lisa has a real passion art and has built her personal collection over several years. This gives Lisa a unique perspective which is invaluable to clients who need help and assistance.

In her personal time she enjoys nothing better than being outside in the Dorset countryside going for walks with her family or enjoying time in the garden.
