Our Alumni
A growing alumni of talented artists, writers, and creatives have stayed at Studio Panicale over the years—some of whom are new to us, and some who’ve been visiting us for years. Below are a few selected biographies as well as a timeline of residents since Feburary of 2022.
David Caldwell
David is a professional artist from Helensburgh who lives in London. As a multifaceted painter, he works in oil on portraiture, landscape, and the figure and studied at The Glasgow School of Art and at The Royal Drawing School in London. David has exhibited at The Portrait Award, at The National Portrait Gallery, and at The Mall Gallery in London, as well as at other exhibitions including The Ruth Borchard, The Discerning Eye Exhibition, and several others including shows in London, Glasgow, and Cornwall. Teaching at various schools in London, he has run summer schools in the UK and Romania and attended several artist residencies in the UK and Italy. You can find more of his work on His Website, or over on His Instagram.
Martin Evans
Martin is an architect and artist who lives between London and Italy. He runs An Architecture Practice in Shoreditch and works on a variety of projects including housing, hotels, schools and community facilities. Martin has also tutored architecture at the University of Westminster on the undergraduate and MA courses in Urban Design. As an artist, Martin paints in acrylics and draws in pencil and charcoal—these work includes portraiture, landscape, buildings and urban scenes. His travels have led to a series of sketchbooks capturing Africa, Greece, India and Italy. Martin attended the Chalk Hill Residency in California in 2016 and held a one man show in London showing the work from the residency. Other exhibitions include pencil designs of Hampstead Heath in 2018. You can find more of his work on His Website, or over on His Instagram.
Susana Burton
Susana is a professional artist and qualified scenery painter for theatre, opera and film. She has spent many years working at the Royal Opera Hous and continues to work with various West End Theatres regularly. Additionally, she works as a trompe l’oeil artist and is working on the interior paintings of a chateau on France and properties in the UK. An accomplished portrait and figurative painter using oils as her preferred medium, Suzanna also works in pencil and experiments with inks and wax oil sticks for landscape and still life work. You can find more of her work on Her Website, or over on Her Instagram.
Laura Broughton
Laura is a professional artist who lives in Peckham, London. Working from her studio at home, she has exhibited in several one-woman and shared shows across London and has attended several residencies at the Royal Drawing School. Her work is wonderfully loose with its colour and movement, mainly of the human form and portraiture, yet often with a political or socially challenging perspective. All in all, Laura’s work shows the rawness of life. You can find more of her work on Her Website.
Uschi Peters
Uschi lives in Hamburg, Germany and is an early childhood educator and artist. Uschi has also worked for many years as a graphic designer and art director for many German publications, including the National Geographic, Geo and Brigitte. Recent visits to Studio Panicale have led to a renaissance in her interest in painting and art and during a two-week stay in 2019 she produced nearly 20 pieces of water colour work. Often painting en plien-air, her watercolours capture the garden, local views, and incidental moments of a summer holiday.
