The creation of Irena Prikryl – who has been a head designer at Rodd & Gunn for the past 13 years – Maud Creative was born out of an appreciation for fine art photography, with the gallery set to feature award-winning photographers and foster emerging talent. The contemporary gallery is housed in a converted warehouse on Maud Street in Newstead. The original exterior of the building has been preserved, while inside smooth white walls meet white concrete floors, highlighted by suspended lighting. Black Barcelona-style seating is dotted throughout the gallery, encouraging quiet contemplation of the imagery being exhibited.
