Jill McFarlane paintings from 2012 - 2013. This selection of work focuses on Australian suburbia. The humid, green canopy of the Queensland backyard, the subtle expression of religion, the cultural diversity and the cosy retro charm of house styles from different decades all within day time stories of blue sky suburbia.

Paintings from the 2011 solo exhibition held at Libby Edwards Gallery, Melbourne. This work looks to the artist's own family history with a deliberate air of nostalgia as if looking at the tinted sepia tones of an old postcard. The strength and importance of the figures is unequivocal to the eye of the viewer but at the same time their features are subtle and often blurred. The paintings are an interpretation of scenes and memories common to many families.
