Catherine Cavallo (b. 1963) is an artist from Malta.

She studied Fine Arts/Oil Painting at the City & Guilds of London Art School. During her stay in London she became more and more influenced by the sombre moods and colours of city life. This reflected in her earlier paintings of the period. In 1990 she returned to Malta seeking her natural environment and turned towards the sea and typical Maltese countryside for stimulation in producing several sea and landscapes. Two years later, her three year stay in Tuscany brought out the native hues and colours in her vibrant paintings of this particularly scenic corner of Italy. Her works hang in private collections as well as permanent exhibitions both in Malta and overseas.

"She forges ahead with powerful vigour. She can hardly repress her profuse creative outpouring. Her expressionism knows no bounds and she brooks no rivals."[1]
