Extraordinary Portraits (2022)

S2E1 Episode 1

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.
