Cowdenbeath's library welcomes its visitors with a stunning mural of a boy who devours his book. The little town boats more street art - some of them, created by local artist Kerry Wilson, are nothing less than amazing.

Lucie - a local girl - stepped up to be the star of the show, making dandelion wishes and ensuring that she’ll remain a Cowdenbeath legend 😃. Source: https://www.welcometofife.com/inspire-me-post/cowdenbeaths-larger-than-life-artwork

"By painting an anonymous child complete with an adult miner’s helmet and pair of oversized boots, the art has a more modern outlook than some traditional mining memorials. The viewer’s attention is drawn to the children of the future, who have been shaped by the generations that came before. It’s an astonishingly powerful piece and all the more impressive considering it was the first project of this scale Kerry had taken on."
