✨ RIMA STAINES — EXHIBITION, ART, MYTH & STORYTELLING ✨
We’re delighted to welcome the work of Rima Staines to Lore Gallery, Forres, where her exhibition will be on display until New Year.

London-born Rima works across painting, theatre, music and storytelling. Rooted in myth, imagination and a lifelong vagabond spirit, her paintings conjure dreamlike figures and otherworldly landscapes — worlds that feel both ancient and strangely familiar.

🌿 PRIVATE VIEW AND GUEST 🌿

On 26th September, 6–8pm, join us at Lore Gallery for a special evening with Rima Staines, accompanied by guest and extraordinary storyteller Nana Tomova.

Rima will share something of her artistic journey, exploring the stories, myths and influences behind her paintings, and the ways painting, music and storytelling intertwine within her practice.

SPECIAL GUEST: NANA TOMOVA

Traditional oral storyteller Nana Tomova, based in Speyside, Scotland, will bring some of her rich inheritance of Bulgarian folklore to life through the spoken word.

Born in Bulgaria, Nana carries a tradition of tales of wise women and healing herbs, golden maidens and winged serpents, stretching back to ancient Thracian times.

Nana is the author of the newly published Bulgarian Folk Tales, beautifully illustrated by Rima Staines. During the evening, she will share stories from this collection, offering a glimpse into the folklore and landscapes that have inspired this remarkable collaboration.

✨ The exhibition continues at Lore Gallery until New Year.

✨ The evening of 26th September is an additional special event and private view, with Rima Staines and guest Nana Tomova.

You wield Mjölnir—the Lightning-Maker.
And when you do, you are reminded: this is power.

Not brute force, but transformation. Lightning lives in the hammer, forged to shatter stagnation and ignite change. It doesn’t simply strike. It awakens.

Jörmungandr coils around it, feeding the storm. The serpent is not merely an ending—it is the cycle. Its venom dissolves the old so something new can rise.

Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr, Thor’s mighty rams, embody endless renewal. They die, return, and pull the chariot forward—reminding us that strength is motion, sacrifice can become rebirth, and nothing truly ends.

This is more than myth.

It is a living force.

When you hold Mjölnir, you don’t simply remember its story. You become part of it.

⚡ Mjölnir is life force.
🐏 The rams are renewal.
🐍 Jörmungandr is transformation.

Together, they are the storm.

And in your hands, they remind you:

You are the lightning.
You are the change.
