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.

Paintings from the 2009 solo exhibition held at Libby Edwards Gallery, Melbourne.  This work draws particular inspiration from the dark and symbolic tales collected by the Brothers Grimm.  Imagery from everyday domesticity, nature and popular culture combine to make an intense material drama extending an invitation of escapism to the viewer.  Within each painting narrative threads link to create whimsical daydreams charged with touches of eroticism and undercurrents of insecurity.

Paintings from the 2006 solo exhibition held at Maree Mizon Gallery, Sydney.  The work is a charged exploration of high femininity unashamedly glorifying the idea of  beauty.  It looks at conflicted relationships of voyeurism; the pornographic tendency to reveal everything and the erotic inclination to hide.  Decorative motifs with historic connotations of kitsch emphasise the ambiguous beauty of the female icons.

Paintings from the 2008 solo exhibition held at Libby Edwards Gallery, Brisbane.  Each painting is explored as seductive visual trap with the central focus being the female icon.  Stylistically paraphrasing such cliches as pin up girls and fairy tale sirens, the paintings embrace the spectacle of the naughty.

Paintings displayed at The Libby Edwards Gallery, Melbourne in 2010.  Secrets and sensory delights combine with family tales in these paintings inspired by the artist's childhood.  Retro pattern styles blend with corners of natural beauty.
