Her work explores the intersection of nature and industry, capturing the weathered textures of Sydney’s industrial heritage alongside the raw beauty of the Australian coastline. A frequent finalist in the Mosman and Paddington Art Prizes, Weir documents the grit and history of local waterways with a focus on light and atmosphere.
