The Los Angeles-based artist Laurie Lipton shares why she's drawn obsessively since age four, how she invented her "insane" cross-hatching technique studying Dutch Masters in Europe, and how waitressing paid the rent so she could draw.

She discusses why drawing is her drug, how stepping aside lets the work flow, and why political art struggles to find gallery walls.
