Cath Michael is a Brisbane-based emerging artist with a passion for nostalgia, particularly Mid Century Modern, Vintage and Retro styles.
Growing up with a mother who was a high school art teacher, Cath was exposed to various art practices, which included interior and fashion design as well as painting.
In 2023, a chronic medical condition led Cath to step away from a 20+ year career in finance, allowing her to fully dedicate herself to painting.
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 locally in Queensland and interstate, gaining recognition for their nostalgic charm and timeless appeal.
