In a quiet residential neighborhood in north Phoenix, something big looms over a fenced-in back yard. The late afternoon sun reflects its luster, and it seems out of place in this typical suburban locale.
Bové&#8217;s home studio is a mess of bolts, metal, solar wind power and heavy paint fumes. Built by hand, he claims it [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Riding my bike is often my daily dose of Zen,&#8221; says green artist Matt Mays, â€œI get to see, hear, taste and smell everything around me. I&#8217;m vulnerable, humbled and, at times, aggravated all at once by traffic. Cars isolate us from each other, and help to create cities that don&#8217;t work for their community.&#8221;

	Artistic inspiration can be found in any geographic location, even in a modest West Phoenix home. Jason Rudolph Peña, who grew up in &#8220;the avenues&#8221;, was influenced by artistically minded parents early on, but growing up, other influences were at play.
&#8220;Like a lot of young boys, I was inspired by cartoons and monster movies,&#8221; Peña [...]]]></description>

James Verbicky draws inspiration in his own work. The ability to feed off of his previous momentum and visualize changes in his work creates a spontaneity he feels is important in his art. Verbicky is also connected to nature and especially the ocean. He points out that much of his work is considered atmospheric, influenced [...]]]></description>

This soft-spoken, Phoenix-bred artist evokes haunting, silver screen tangibility.
His work has been described as haunting, vulnerable and darkly sensual.
Tom Stephenson, however, is nothing like his work.
The Phoenix-born mixed-media artist, whose art has been seen over the past decade at Scottsdale&#8217;s Art One gallery, has earned recognition beyond the local art scene, including the Award of [...]]]></description>

If this were any other time in human history, metal-working artist Gabriel Salcido, of Lumbre Gallery in Phoenix would be one of the most sought after members of society. Salcido, a 37-year-old Valley resident, has been melting and molding metal into extraordinary shapes and concepts since his late teens.

He&#8217;s not a chef, but artist Kyle Jordre empties the contents of a large utensil caddy on his coffee table: slotted pasta spoons, spatulas, long-handed serving spoons, and a two-pronged barbecue fork are among the tools that spill out. All of them are covered in layers of varying shades of red, blue, and yellow.
