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;

Downtown Phoenix is starting to look a little newer. Modified Arts, a favorite destination for many downtown art observers and concertgoers, has recently undergone exterior facelift to stay in the game. 
Modified Arts has become a valley landmark after pulling off a rare feat: staying afloat as an art and live music venue in downtown Phoenix [...]]]></description>

	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>

Downtown art studio and gallery is part of the cultural renaissance in Phoenix.
As 2008 has marked the continued resurgence in arts and culture in downtown Phoenix, Kollectiv Art and Design Group has been a welcomed newcomer, and has quickly carved out a niche in the Valley art scene.

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>

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.
