CATH MICHAEL
Cath is a Brisbane-based artist. She is a lover of nostalgia and has a particular interest in Mid-Century Modern, Vintage and Retro.
Growing up with a mother who was a high school art teacher, Cath was exposed to various artistic practices including interior and fashion design as well as painting. In 2023, after stepping away from a long finance career due to illness, she returned to her creative roots and began painting full time.
Her work features still life, vintage treasures and Mid-Century furniture. Drawing inspiration from sentimental objects and cherished memories, her paintings evoke a sense of warmth and longing for times when life was much simpler.
Cath's paintings have been exhibited in galleries both in Qld and interstate, gaining recognition for their nostalgic charm and timeless appeal.
