Michelle Cioccoloni

Michelle Cioccoloni lived for many years in Rome, Italy and was a student at the Royal Drawing School in 2012, where she now teaches. Specializing in monochrome drawings of interiors, objects and ancient artefacts, her technique has been influenced by the study of the Old Masters. Her drawings in ink, which is applied with a fine metal-nib pen, play on the juxtaposition between illusionistic space and flat areas of tone. 

From her art studio close to the Ashdown Forest in West Sussex, Michelle works across various media including drawing, painting and sculpture in wood and glass. She shares her passion for observational drawing with young artists from the local area hosting drawing and painting classes in her creative space.
