Maria comments \u201cReturned looks at places connected with me and people in my life, and how these can evoke memories. Travelling has given a new perspective on local landscapes. I have revisited places that make me reminisce about my childhood and family. I have also gained a new appreciation for exploring new places within my own area. I initially take photographs or sketches and make notes about the memories or feeling these places generate. The work is then created using paint and mixed media.\u201d \u2018Returned\u2019 will be on display in the Theatre Foyer from Friday 2nd<\/sup> May until Thursday 22nd<\/sup> May.<\/p>\n Admission to both exhibitions is free.
