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.
