FEATURED
The Stairway to Heaven Memorial Charity Art & Photographic Exhibition Forman's Smokehouse Gallery, London
16th May to 16th June 2013
 |
| Newspaper cuttings of the Bethnal Green Tube Disaster, forming part of the Forman's Gallery exhibition |
Both the exhibition and the Charity Auction at Forman's Smokehouse were conceived to raise funds for building a memorial to those involved in the Bethnal Green Tube Disaster in World War Two, in March 1943. At that time, information about the disaster was suppressed in the media, to avoid propaganda. The Stairway to Heaven Memorial Trust worked tirelessly for decades to raise funds and in December 2017, the memorial was finally completed and inaugurated, near the Tube station itself. Maria is proud to have been involved in that process.

am delighted that the West End Gallery hosted a solo exhibition of my

shown side by side with new, previously unseen work, showing the
development of the original, core themes.
