Billy Nye thanks her Peninsula upbringing for the aesthetic that now dominates her work. She goes on to say,

"My work is inspired by the simplicity of the suburban streetscape; the paradise of domesticity. I see beauty in the everyday, suburban neighbourhood. Artists such as, David Hockney, Reg Mombassa, Jeffrey Smart 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; associated 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."

Billy (also known as the Queen of Suburbia) has been actively involved in fostering creativity and collaboration among local artists. Her dedication to mentoring emerging talent and supporting community-driven projects has made her a beloved figure within the arts scene.
