When did you last see a woman who looks like you on a gallery wall?
For too many women — and particularly women of colour — the answer is rarely, if ever. In this episode of The True You Podcast, host Paula Burns sits down with Prith B — visual artist, coach, children's author, and quietly revolutionary force in the world of art and representation — for a conversation about what it means to be truly seen.
Prith specialises in female portraiture with a powerful focus on women of colour, whose faces and stories are so often missing from the galleries, museums, and cultural spaces that shape how we see ourselves and each other. But Prith's work goes far beyond technical skill. She collaborates closely with each woman she paints — not just to capture how she looks, but how she feels. The result is portraiture that is deeply personal, politically meaningful, and utterly alive.
And beyond the canvas, Prith is taking her mission into primary schools — teaching diversity through art, and writing children's books that ensure the next generation grows up seeing themselves reflected in the stories and images around them.
In this episode, we explore:
— Why the absence of women of colour from gallery walls matters — and what Prith is doing to change that
— What it means to paint not just how a woman looks, but how she feels — and why that distinction is everything
— How art can be a powerful tool for self-expression, identity, and healing for women
— The intersection of visual art, coaching, and storytelling — and how Prith uses all three to elevate women's voices
Whether you're an art lover, a woman searching for where you belong in the cultural conversation, or simply someone who believes every woman deserves to be seen — this episode will move you.
