Should your path lead you to the Scottish Storytelling Centre, artist Sylvia Troon invited you to step into Pathways - an exhibition of paintings accompanied by poems, exploring the journeys we all take.

"Every life follows its own winding course, shaped by unexpected turns and the courage to embrace new challenges. My own artistic journey has led me full circle, back to where it began – drawing and painting. I still remember vividly those joyful days of discovery with lasting friendships at art college in Edinburgh.

Meeting Lea, storyteller, at the Storytelling Centre has been a particular gift. To see my paintings reflected and reimagined in her poems is both a privilege and a delight – two creative paths meeting and continuing onward together." - Sylvia Troon
