"Beach Ball" (SOLD)
Billy Nye thanks her Peninsula upbringing for the aesthetic that now dominates her work.
"My work is inspired by the simplicity of the suburban streetscape; the paradise of domesticity.
I see beauty in the everyday, suburban neighborhood. Artists such as, David Hockney, Reg Mombassa and Howard Arkley view the mundane world with a similar sense of admiration."
"After spending decades of my life abroad, I return to the quaint landscape of the Mornington Peninsula
In my artistic mind. It has always been, and will remain a uniquely beautiful location to me; associate with nostalgia, but also brimming with potential for the future.
"These seemingly ordinary landmarks: swimming pools, houses, fences power lines and suburban streets Are scenes of home. I don't feel the need to travel anymore, as my own backyard serves as my private oasis. To me, there is no place like the Peninsula."
