Extraordinary Portraits (2022)

Episode Overview

In an unexpected collaboration, artist Stuart Pearson Wright takes on the challenge of capturing the essence of charity fundraiser Harriet Middleton and her deep love for her Shetlander roots. Harriet, a cancer survivor, has dedicated her knitting talents to help raise over £100,000 for an MRI scanner for the only hospital on the island. Now, she finds herself partnered with Stuart, renowned for his remarkable figurative portraits and a playful approach to art. This unique pairing will have Stuart trading his paintbrush for knitting needles and leaving his studio behind to travel to the Scottish Isles, aiming to create a portrait that honors Harriet’s contributions to the community.
