Bowral artist ROSA FEDELE is Artist in Residence at Centennial Vineyards for the month of June, taking over the Cellar Door and filling it with her newest collection of DREAM MACHINES & DOGGOS!

This whimsical, playful and nostalgic exhibition celebrates vintage cars and Italian scooters accompanied by darling dogs and romantic beauties from the silver screen. Come and visit Rosa every weekend and watch the process as she paints a stunning, fully authentic 1962 Triumph TR4 with the lovely Erin in vintage costume. “I’m passionate about preserving these wonderful old beasts on canvas; reflections and sunshine flashing off seductively curvaceous chrome, the patina of old duco, bumpers wrapped lovingly around steel bodies, the layers of colour and texture and, of course, delicious red rust.”

DREAM MACHINES will take you on a heart-warming and nostalgic ride in your favourite classic convertible, Italian silk scarf billowing in the breeze and faithful hound by your side.
