NEOS 2024

Moray Art Centre is taking part in the North East Open Studios trail this year!

We will be hosting the following artists:

Anita Inverarity

“My art is inspired by nature, magic and mythology. I use pen and pencil mediums to create intricate narratives to engage the viewer.” This show will run alongside Anita’s solo show “Secrets of the Stones” which is also taking place in the gallery space at Moray Art Centre. 

Anita Inverarity is a Scottish artist born in Aberdeen and currently living in rural Banffshire near the coast and forest where she draws a lot of her inspiration. Working in pen mediums Anita is interested in intricate detail and pattern with nouveau twists and folk art aesthestics. Her art language is often steeped in mythology and ancient lore with underpinning stories of transformation. Anita exhibits her work both locally and internationally and has been shown in juried exhibits in the National Gallieries and Museums of Scotland on several occasions. Commercial works and collaborations have included everything from Album Covers to a Catwalk Collection with celebrated Australian fashion designers Zimmermann. Current and ongoing projects include art and inspirational writing in Tarot and Oracle Decks with publishers US Games, Blue Angel and Animal Dreaming. Releases include Universal Folk Oracle and Universal Folk Tarot to date.

“Following a very successful NEOS last year, I am delighted to be back in 2024, sharing a space with Lois Dubber. There are colourful oil, acrylic and watercolour originals and prints of landscapes, seascapes and abstracts in different sizes at affordable prices. We look forward to welcoming interested parties and demonstrating the creative process.”

Self-Taught Artist working in Oils, Acrylics and Watercolours depicting Landscapes, Seascapes, Abstracts from my love of nature, travel and the rich tapestry of colour that is the world we live in. I took up painting during lockdown and have been experimenting with different types of art, conventional, digital and whatever takes my creative process to new and exciting heights. In the four years I have been painting and creating, I have built a substantial portfolio, created a website and opened my online shop at jacsart.com. Interest in my work is growing steadily and sales are good. It is not for profit that I paint, I love the creative process and I want to share that enthusiasm with interested parties. It will be lovely to see you at the beautiful venue that is Moray Art Centre, so come and have a browse and chat it will be lovely to welcome you.

Lois Dubber

“Lois’s Art is a colourful collection of acrylic paintings, with a dabble into oils. Inspired by the beaches, farmlands and villages on the Moray coast and farther. This year’s challenges have been portrait and animals making the collection fun to view.”

Lois Dubber is a Self taught artist residing in Hopeman Moray. After spending 11 years in Vancouver Canada, she settled back in the village she grew up in and was inspired by the beaches and countryside of Scotland. Her artistic endeavors began as a beauty therapist painting faces and miniatures on nails. Lois swapped aesthetics for canvases when essential tremor limited her abilities to miniaturise scenes.
