Australian Backyard Circa 1970s by Billy Nye

Features

ARTIST NOTES: This painting is a suburban glimpse of a typical Melbourne home in the 1970s. There is a glimpse of Port Phillip Bay in the distance. All of my paintings are based on the Disappearance of the Great Australian Backyard. Nostalgic and something we can all relate to.

ARTIST BIO

Graduate in Fine Art and Visual Culture, Nye focuses her artwork on the "simplicity of the suburban landscape'. Ordinary landmarks such as; swimming pools, houses, fences, power lines and suburban streets, are scenes of home. Not to mention the amazing Port Phillip Bay and the gateway to the Peninsula "Olivers Hill". 

Painting and Printmaking are her main genres with a particular interest in woodcutting. Nyes work is collected all over the Peninsula and has a reputation for her simplicity of the suburban streetscape and the paradise of domesticity. Seeing the beauty in everyday things and making associations with nostalgia.
