Chloe Cheese was born in 1952 in Chelsea London. She attended the Cambridge Art School from 1969-1972 and in 1972 won the Royal Academy drawing prize before continuing her studies from 1973-1976 at the Royal College of Art.
Chloe Cheese has always planned to be an artist. Her childhood was spent in Great Bardfield where there were several artists of note including her own parents. As early as she can remeber she was accustomed to wandering into neighbourhood studios. The absorbed activity, the rich scent of paint and turpentine she took to be the normal way of life. The most splendid of these studios belonged to Edward Bawden. Big, white and utterly marvellous. Edward Bawden was her friend since childhood; he introduced her to the Curwen Gallery in the 1970s.
Her first solo show was in 1979 "Still Life in London and Paris" at the Curwen Gallery and several more have followed since then in London and Japan. She has also participated in various group exhibitions. She has freelanced as an illustrator for the Sunday Times, Vogue magazine, Terence Conran Galleries, Lafayette, German Vogue and Marie Claire.
