Artwork Description

The inspiration for this painting came from seeing the cutest vintage 1960's Fiat 500 in baby blue at a local Italian food festival. It was love at first sight, and the cane basket suitcase perched on the rear luggage rack topped it off perfectly.

I just had to paint her and chose Lake Como as the backdrop. One of the loveliest lakes in Italy to visit. The vista is just gorgeous, with the lake surrounded by mountains full of pine trees. Imagine taking this cute Bambino on a road trip to Lake; a perfect Italian holiday.

Artist Bio

Cath Michael is an emerging artist based in Brisbane. She is a lover of nostalgia and has a particular interest in Mid Century Modern, Vintage and Retro styles. 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.

After stepping away from a long finance career due to illness, she returned to her creative roots and began painting seriously.

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.
