New Rural

‘New Rural inspires the best kind of wanderlust, the kind where your soul finds something it didn’t know it was looking for.‘ – Emily Katz, artist, founder @modernmacrame‘Ingrid Weir’s gorgeous Australian imagery shoots straight into your heart.’ – Laura Brown, InStyle magazine editor-in-chief

Ingrid Weir has designed interiors in Mexico, Los Angeles and Sydney for clients including The Macquarie Group, The Sydney Opera House, National Parks and Wildlife, Charter Hall, The Film School and The National Art School.

Trained at Sydney University, she holds a Bachelors in Architecture. With a background in set and costume design, she has worked extensively in film, television and theatre in Australia. As the daughter of film director Peter Weir and production and costume designer Wendy Stites, she grew up in the industry.

Ingrid studied photography at CCAC in San Francisco and The Australian Centre for Photography. She photographed the 2015 Bringing Australians Home campaign for Qantas, which also involved flying around the country and holding photography workshops in capital cities on behalf of the airline.

For the past decade she has owned a country escape in the old gold-rush village/artists colony of Hill End in New South Wales’ central west. She divides her time between there and Sydney.
