Rolf Harris goes on an entertaining and personal journey to discover more about four artists inspired by Wales and its people. Rolf meets fellow Australian Shani Rhys James, the hugely successful painter who has chosen Wales as her home. Shani's dramatic self portraits are directly influenced by her family history and childhood experiences so before Rolf attempts a self portrait in Shani's style, he goes back to Merthyr to discover more about his own family's Welsh roots and makes a startling revelation about a family scandal that rocked polite Victorian society.
