Star Portraits Returning to Bravo! in Canada

TORONTO: A further season of 13 episodes of the series Star Portraits is being produced by PTV Productions for Bravo! in Canada.

Hosted by Louise Pitre, Star Portraits combines the art of portraiture with celebrity biography. In each episode, three artists create their interpretation of a well-known Canadian personality. The celebrity chooses one portrait to keep for themselves. The series is based on a format created by Hotbed Media. Executive producers are Andrea Nemtin and Ian Dunbar of PTV.

Season one is currently in rotation on Saturday nights on Bravo!

"After a tidal wave of positive response, Bravo! is thrilled to go forward with season two of Star Portraits," said Charlotte Engel, the production executive for documentaries and alternative programming at Bravo! "The show is an ideal blend of art and entertainment and forges new territory in the world of television."

"We are excited for a second season," commented Nemtin, a partner and executive producer at PTV Productions. "The combination of interesting people and talented artists makes this series a joy to produce."
