Finding the inspiration behind some of America's most talented artists.

A San Francisco artist makes art from trash; learning about rug tufting.

A professor who made physics go viral; a unique musician; the first Hispanic editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics.

An origami artist's lifelong dream; custom designed sneakers; blending cultural and queer identities; The Bikeriders; the countertenor; the art of hula dancing.

An ice sculpture, scrap metal sculpture, and slime sculpture; a Los Angeles hacienda in miniature; summertime animal art; superheroes in scrubs.
