Bianca Raffaella won the 2025 Women in Art Prize, a remarkable achievement for an artist who has visual impairment and is registered blind. In this episode, she talks about the nature of this impairment, how she developed an eating disorder in her youth, how she spent successful years as a fashion designer, how lockdown led her to return to painting, her technique for putting paint on the canvas, her experience of applying for the Tracey Emin Artist Residency, how she has become an activist for other sight-impaired people and how she collaborated with a printmaker for her current exhibition of portraits.
