We’re bustling with artists of all demographics and mediums here in the Valley, so it’s hard to choose just a few favorites. No. 1 this year is Kala Rehberger, who is known for their horror and psychological subject matters and use of organic materials. Galloping into second place is visual artist Terry Meyer. Terry is known for his abstract horse paintings and sculptures. In third comes Christy Ann Skuban, known for her bold, funky, and beautiful works of art. (Sadly, she passed away just after our Best Of issue went to press.) —Measha Vieth
