About Inside the Creative Process

The creative process of art-making is both messy and magical, frustrating and fluid. It can bring an artist‘s insecurities up to the surface, yet asks for complete and total trust. Join professional dance artist, writer, and fiber artist, Alicia Peterson Baskel, as she interviews a new and different artist each week. You will hear from artists and writers across genres about their journey through the creative process toward their masterpieces. These conversations will encourage YOU to make your art. To value your art and to value the work of others. To push boundaries and to be willing to step into the unknown and trust yourself. To trust your creative intuition. (Photo Credit: Kate Wall)
