What Is Inspiration?
Where do artists get their ideas and how do they turn them into art? Every artist has a different way to approach making art. Some wait for inspiration from above. Some say revelation is a myth. Join EGG as writers and visual artists, actors and musicians, explore the ideas behind their ideas and the methods to their spontaneity.

Ann Gale
Some people complain that all of Ann Gale's paintings look blurry. Gale, of course, sees things differently. "Your brain, when it's putting things together, it's trying to name it," she says. "It's trying to say 'nose, eyebrow, hair.' And I'm trying to paint at a place before that."
