In this unlikely match, painter Stuart Pearson Wright is challenged to capture charity fundraiser Harriet Middleton's joy and love for her Shetlander heritage.

Now she is paired with a painter who has been called one of the most gifted portrait artists of his generation. Stuart is well known for his figurative paintings and irreverent, sometimes humorous tone.

She wants to portray Christian's many sides in a single painting - but will her love for visual pattern and his love for rhyme pattern create the perfect recipe for a powerful portrait?
