Emer is in conversation with Cork student Jean O'Riordan who at 16 years of age, is the youngest ever participant to feature on the Sky Arts' Portrait Artist of the Year TV show. Jean tells us what it was like to travel to London with her family and be part of the much loved show which aired in February and how inspiring it was to be surrounded by professional and non-professional artists on the programme and what it was like to draw Downton Abbey and The Last Duel actress Harriet Walter in person.
