The TV show sees the acclaimed artist Anh Do paint a portrait of his subject, during the sitting they share stories about their life and career. It’s a conversation filled with joy and tragedy.

TV chef Kylie Kwong shares how her family came to live in Australia in the late 1800s, and how her great grandfather had four wives and twenty four children.

During the conversation Kylie shares how hard it was for her to talk to her parents about her sexuality, and the heartbreaking initial  reaction she received when she came out to her father.

As Anh paints the portrait, Kylie chats about her success in opening her first restaurant and making the transition into being a television host.

She also chats about how she met her wife, mononymous artist Nell, who she married earlier this year.

Over the show’s four seasons Anh Do has interviewed many well known Australians including Dannii Minogue, Magda Szubanski, Ian Thorpe, Tina Arena, Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton, Tim Minchin and Leah Purcell.

See the profound conversation between Anh Do and Kylie Kwong 8pm Wednesday 17th July.
