Neos 2013

Welcome to your 2013/14 Annual Directory!

How to use this guide

Three week opening times...

Your year-round directory is now in a new format and will ensure that you are kept up to date with the brightest and best artists and crafts-people in the North East of Scotland. In its 10th Anniversary Year,NEOS is continually growing and evolving with a record-smashing 322 individuals, galleries and groups who will open their doors to you in September.

All entrants will have work on show, usually have work in progress and more often than not, you will be able to see work being made and perhaps be able to participate too!

Most of all it’s a great opportunity to meet and chat to individual artists, see their inspirations and work-ing methods and learn about the huge wealth of talent we have in the North East of Scotland. Most artists will have work available for purchase and you may even wish to commission an original piece of work of your own.

The annual directory and guide provides all the information you need to contact individuals, artists and groups all year round and also provides address details of where you can see them during the Open Studios Weeks from 7th – 29th September 2013.

NEOS is the biggest open studios event in Scotland by far, and one of the biggest in the UK, we are proud to be fi nancially self suffi cient, but none of this would be possible without an incredibly hard working vol-unteer team, and Steering Committee.

Please enjoy the very best the North East has to offer, have fun visiting!

The reactions by owners seeing their animals in such intimate presentations usu-ally achieves that “Wow” factor. Examples will be on display for sale.

The particular quality of light in the north east permeates my work in sea-scapes and paintings of the indigenous architecture of the coastal villages. Strong ties to Iona also infl uence land and seascapes. At times I dabble in textiles when textures and colours predominate the work.

Duff St runs from Macduff Harbour uphill and the house is siuated on the left hand side on the corner of Duff/Garden St. Please use back gate on Garden St as front fl agstone path is extremely slippery at times. Thank you.

We are 3 miles West of Portsoy, near the village of Sandend, off the A947 Inverness-to-Fraserburgh Road. From Portsoy, drive for 2 miles, then turn right at the ‘Findlater Castle’ brown sign, (after the turning to Sandend Village). When you come to a junction then turn left - it’s the fi rst on the right, a yellow house surrounded by trees.

[email protected]/ChristineRalphFineArtall year? Yes

My recent paintings refl ect my life with animals and present my surroundings in the wild northeast as heroic and often mystical.Works are mostly in oil on a copper base, this refl ects the jewel colours of the oils, giving an almost backlit effect similar to stained glass. My photographs convey the dramatic light and colour of landscape.

From Banff follow the Coastal Trail heading East on the A98.Turn left after the Royal Tar-lair (Macduff) Golf Course.Follow B9031 for approx. 7 miles turn right for Cumineston and New Byth at the staggered cross-road just after the left turn to Gardenstown. Follow for 2 miles until you see the wooden chalet on the left (opposite the Palace Farm)

Inspiration for the items I make comes from the sheep that we farm and the wonderful coloured fl eeces they grow. Each item is unique both in colour and style, this is acheived through the careful blending of fi bres before I then handspin the wool, not all the colours come from blends some are just the pure beauty of our sheep.

From Mintlaw Traffi c Island, take the A950 (towards Old Deer and New Pitsligo) continue for a mile approximately then turn left at the sign for Aden Country Park . Drive to the furthest Car Park then proceed on foot to the main Courtyard - the Exhibition is being held in the Theatre adjacent to the Museum and Caf‚.

By diverse surface mark making and the use of bold tonal and colour rela-tionships I aim to create vibrant art, with mood and mystery. I layer, and experiment with scale and perspective, often revealing areas previously con-cealed under paint or print. The journey towards a fi nal outcome is extended, with each work being unique.

The images in my work come from many sources; fi lm, photography and my own drawings. Through painting I discover what is interesting within them - visually and thematically - which may mean subverting, enhancing or losing the image entirely. Constant in my practice is the fi ght between image and application, which presents itself in each piece to varying degrees.

My paintings are the result of a working relationship between myself, the natural world and inspirational sources of colour and formal harmonies. For beauty, luminosity and environmental considerations I follow the older art of working with my own egg tempered pigments. I like to think that I quietly invite art into this space to make its marks.

My work contains text to provide the viewer insight into the narrative which I have created, and to allow them to create their own narrative.

Seascapes and harbours along the Moray Firth have formed the basis of a collection that integrate both abstract and natural textures that I enjoy pho-tographing. I also have images of local Banchory architecture in B&W. Come along and see some of my most recent landscape photographs of Skye and the Western Isles at my studio.

Oakleigh House is the white house located directly opposite the turn-off to Scolty woods in Auchattie. From Banchory cross the river Dee heading towards the Falls of Feugh. After crossing the river take the fi rst sharp right turn towards Scolty Woods and Auchattie. After 800m go left up the hill. Oakleigh House is on the left hand corner.

I am a painter working in acrylic and mixed media. My primary interest is landscape and how we use it to build on, cultivate and adapt to our needs. I am interested in castles and stone circles of Aberdeenshire and their visual impact on the landscape. I try to capture some of the mystery associated with these in my work.

Heading west from Aberdeen on the South Deeside road turn left opposite the Mill Inn. Take the next left past Storybook Glen and through Kirkton of Maryculter. Carry on for about one and a half miles, turn right at the “T” junction then immediately right down a short rough road. Tarns, with Shed 2 adjacent, is at the end.

Bankhead SteadingKeig, AlfordAberdeenshireAB33 8DS


Fiona attended Gray’s School of Art, and graduated in 2009 with a BA (Hons). She now paints utilising collage and mixed media in her work. Very much inspired by the scottish landscape, she indulges in her love of colour to express herself. Her work therefore is more of an emotional response to what she sees rather than an exact copy.

Follow the main road to Alford, turning right at the sign for Insch. Drive for approximately 2 miles, and you will then see Bankhead Steading on your right.

Painting Thouless, Angela | 293

Junction Arts282, Holburn StreetAberdeenAB10 6DD


My paintings celebrate the patterns, textures, and surfaces of the urban experience. Depending on the time of day, there are two worlds that exist: streets that appear dirty and depressing by day can by night turn into an environment infused with a thriving, dark beauty. I am compelled to capture these moments in time and share with the viewer.

270 BROOMHILL ROADABERDEEN AB107LP


I specialise in contemporary painting on porcelain. Traditionally porcelain painting has been associated with classical imagery, but my objective is to transform this form of art into something contemporary, through a modern movement of colour and shapes. This gives me the chance to transform anonymous and mass produced objects into something unique that can be easily integrated into daily life.

Just off the roundabout connecting Broomhill Road and the A90 (Anderson Drive). Op-posite the VSA home for the elderly.

Bibo creates sculptures and other artwork in a variety of media and tech-niques, using mainly ceramic and wood. Her artwork deals with our con-nectedness with nature, and the transience of life. It’s infl uenced by imagery of supernatural beliefs from different cultures and inspired by natural forms. Bibo responds to the North-East natural environment with temporary instal-lations which she documents photographically.

The Winter Gardens are in Duthie Park which is situated south of Aberdeen city centre at the River Dee.

10 years of NEOS by founder, Susie HuntI can honestly say that if I had imagined the scale of NEOS ten years on, it would have sent me running for cover. When I tapped on the door of Sally Thompson’s office at Aberdeenshire Council, it was to see what permis-sions I would need to start a local

Artists and Makers Open Doors Event. She greeted me with much nodding and smiling. Apparently I was the key to a box marked Open Studios that she had seen in the distance but hadn’t been able to open due to time pressure and lack of funds. I on the other hand was full of energy, enthusiasm and naivety, happy just to get going. Funds would take care of themselves I thought.

Sally did all she could to marshal my energy. She set up meetings and helped with access to Art Groups and Societies. There were those with valid reservations and some sceptics. They had the experience to know what sort of commitment would be required but I was a dog shaking off negativity like water after a cold dip in the river. There was more than enough encouragement from artists and friends as we bantered around various tables. (Kate Robertson- Mary Cane.)

Sally said I would need a Committee: Chairper-son, Secretary, Treasurer and a Constitution.

I had never heard of one of those but I down-loaded one from another Open Studios Event.(I gather now that is what a lot of folk do in these circum-stances.) Then while attending a craft market at Alford I passed the idea by Gordon Watt and Niall Paton and walked away with two signed up committee members including the treasurer.

Our first meeting was at The Forbes Arms at the Bridge of Alford after a life drawing session at Syllavethy Gallery. Attending were myself (chair) Gordon Watt, Niall Paton (treasurer) and Rasma Bertz (Secretary) - to them and to the others – thank you. Also particular thanks to Phil Thompson and his wife Gabi for shoving his arm up in the air, to offer his computer skills.

The first public meeting was in the Wyness Hall at In-verurie. By then we had grown to a strong committee of ten, who between us had the talent and skills to make it work. We invited as many artists and crafts people we could contact. We waited, and the hall seemed very large from our viewpoint at the front. Then, as we saw the room filling with folk from all around Aberdeenshire, I knew that something was going to happen.

It has been wonderful to watch how NEOS has grown over the years, how people have become friends, partnerships forged, confidences grown and artists flourished & passionate audiences grown!

I am so very proud of what NEOS has done for the North East of Scotland, but it could only have been so, because of a dedicated and motivated artistic community.

Susie Hunt, founder of the North East Open Studios.

NEOS 2013 - Our Vision

The NEOS 2013 Committee

name position ordinary members

North East Open Studios is a not for profi t collective of individuals, galleries and groups based

in North East Scotland. NEOS was formed in 2003 to provide an informal contact network for

artists, gallery owners and creative groups, in order to help the public access the wealth of crea-

tive talent throughout the North East.

NEOS is primarily an annual directory of creative talent and all galleries, individuals and

groups are accessible year-round through their contact details. Entries will showcase their

work and working practices during our Open Studios weeks, which run every September. This

year our event will run for 3 weeks, each with a focus on a geographical area of the North East.

This event serves to engage wider audiences in all aspects of visual art and quality hand made

craft and applied art, it also helps grow small scale creative businesses in a largely rural area.

NEOS has grown beyond imagination in 10 years and 2013-14 sees 322 entries into the annual

directory, this is the largest Open Studios event in Scotland by threefold and is run on an en-

tirely voluntary basis. The steering committee consists of artists and professionals involved in

the arts with a huge amount of experience and knowledge in their areas as well as the drive and

passion to take NEOS into the future.
