THE PITCH Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher (and 2017 MLB All-Star) Robbie Ray opens up about this year’s team, as well as life in the Valley of the Sun. What do you love about baseball? I love the childhood aspect of it. I have been playing it since I was 2-years-old. I love this game. I love being out there playing—it’s just like being in the backyard with a stick and ball. Now that I have kids, I have a better understanding as I watch my son play in the backyard. It’s a game that I’ve loved for a long time because of that. I am able to be a kid. How did you get started playing? My parents got me into tee-ball when I was 2-years-old. When I was 12-years-old, I said that I wanted to be a Major League Baseball player—and here I am now living out the dream.
“I am excited to get to know my new teammates and see where the season goes.” This season what are you most excited about? There are some new faces in the clubhouse; we’ve got some really good dudes in there. I am
Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Robbie Ray
excited to get to know my new teammates and see where the season goes. What are the team’s strengths this year? Honestly, I think having zero expectations and being sort of an underdog. Everyone is already counting us out this year, which is great. There is no added pressure and we can just all go out there and play our game. We are all here for a reason—we are all Major League baseball players. So just having that “no expectations” attitude on us is a strength in every category.
Do you have any fun baseball rituals? At least an hour before the game starts, I don’t talk to anybody. The year before I didn’t talk to anybody all day, and that turned into kind of a running joke. I had a few conversations here and there just to not exhaust myself mentally before the game. What do you love about the Valley? Honestly, all the food—the food is great. You can go to a different place every single night. I feel like there is some new spot opening up every week. It is really fun. It’s nice to have a new
spot for a date night with the wife and kids. Any favorite restaurants around town? Our favorite restaurant is The Mission. We love going there, they are really good about taking care of us and the food is amazing.
“Honestly, all the food—the food is great. You can go to a different place every single night. I feel like there is some new spot opening up every week. It is really fun.” 27

With a number of wellknown and award-winning mixologists in the Valley, there are always a plethora of unique cocktails to try. On menus this month, try the Butta Face at Original Gravity (www.ogphx.com), made with peanut butter bourbon and Coca-Cola, with peanut garnish. CRUjiente Tacos (www.crutacos. com) offers the Japanknees Bees, made with Suntory Toki Whisky, house hopped honey, and fresh-squeezed lemon. Raise a glass to the season at the Discovery Lounge at Boulders Resort (www.theboulders.com) with the Violet Voyeur, which offers a toast to spring flowers. It’s made with Liquor de Violette with vodka, lavender water, blueberries, sugar, and garnished with a lemon. At any of the five The VIG restaurants around town (www. thevig.us), find the Takes Two To Mango cocktail. A spin on the classic margarita, it’s made with herradura blanco tequila, ancho reyes, mango, lime, and served with a salt rim. And, available all year at Hearth ’61 at Mountain Shadows (www.mountainshadows.com) try The Bold Botanist (pictured below). It was created in celebration of the Grand Canyon National Park centennial, and named after Joseph Christmas Ives, a U.S. soldier, botanist and explorer who was the first American to set out into the Grand Canyon. The drink is made with juniper—a plant that is found in abundance at the canyon—as well as tanqueray, lime juice, simple syrup, egg white and mint, and topped with angostura bitters. One dollar of the cost of each drink sold is donated to the Grand Canyon Association.

THE GUIDE
Museums+Attractions
“Agnes Pelton: Desert Transcendentalist” This touring exhibit is the first survey on obscure American painter Agnes Pelton in more than 24 years, and showcases approximately 40-45 of her works. Pelton began experimenting with abstraction in the early 1900s, and the exhibit explores her contribution to American Modernism, while examining her practice against a broader, international framework of spiritual and esoteric abstraction.Although Pelton painted conventional desert landscapes, she became known for her abstract studies of earth and light, biomorphic compositions of delicate veils, shimmering stars, and atmospheric horizon lines. The exhibit is showcased at Phoenix Art Museum from March 9-Sept. 8. Pictured: “Day,” 1935. Oil on canvas. 1625 N. Central Ave., 602.666.7104. www.phxart.org Phoenix Map B3

THE GUIDE
Navigate Camelback Mountain Get a bird’s-eye view of the Valley from Phoenix’s most famous mountain. Named for its shape reminiscent of a camel laying down, this landmark offers a strenuous hike. The Cholla trail rises from a neighborhood of mansions near The Phoenician’s golf courses and becomes narrow, steep and rocky in some parts. The Echo Canyon trail is so remarkably steep at some points that handrails and fences were permanently installed by park stewards. Each trail offers moments of breathtaking exposure. Trails meet at the summit, but the street-level trailheads are miles apart—so be sure to descend the same way you came. www.phoenix.gov/parks
PIESTEWA PEAK— The challenging 1.2-mile trail
to the 2,608-foot summit is probably the most popular hike in the city. Families inch their way up, outdistanced by fitness buffs who try to make the round trip in less than an hour. Summit trailhead, Lincoln Drive east of Hwy. 51, then north into the park. www.phoenix.gov/parks Valley Map M16

[WHERE INSIDE]
Valley of the Sun
What work have you been most proud of? When I get an email or a comment on social media about how much a piece has meant to a person or how a piece helped them through a rough patch in life—that is when I am the most proud. You recently created a mural for Scottsdale Fashion Square. Can you describe it? The mural at Scottsdale Fashion Square is my first set of Phoenix wings. I wanted to create wings that were huge, powerful, and looked like they were flames.
Kelsey Montague [International Street Artist]
Kelsey Montague creates large-scale, interactive street murals around the world, including Cape Town, Galway, Buenos Aires, Hong Kong, Manchester and New York City. Her creations provide an opportunity for people to become a “living work of art,” and participants are encouraged to post pictures with the work on social media under the hashtag #whatliftsyou.
What was the inspiration for it? I was inspired by Phoenix, the heat, and the clean lines of the desert.
How did you get started as an artist? I’ve been drawing since I can remember. I come from a family of artists (painters). My first foray into interactive street art was in New York
Where else have you created murals around the Valley? I have created five other pieces in the Valley, including “Arrow Cloud,” 7700 W. Arrowhead Towne Center, Glen-
City. I was invited to do a street art piece for a rotating street art wall in downtown Manhattan and chose to do a huge set of angel wings that New Yorkers could interact with. I assigned the
88 W H E R E P H O E N I X + S COT T S D A L E I M A R C H 2019
hashtag #WhatLiftsYou to encourage people to stop and consider what is most important to them in their lives, and to then share that online. People immediately started interacting with it.
dale; “Balloons,” near Nordstrom, 3111 W. Chandler Blvd., Chandler; “Bubbles,” 2180 E. Williams Field Road, Gilbert; “Cactus Swing,” 2502 E. Camelback Road; “Wings,” 6800 N. 95th Ave., Glendale. Your work has been featured all over… any places you’ve been most excited about? I love working in Sydney, Australia, and just did a magic wand piece down there. Earlier last year I did a piece in Dubai and really enjoyed visiting the desert—it was magical. When you’ve been in the Valley, did you find any favorite spots? Yes! I love visiting Cattletrack Arts Compound— the artists there are inspirational (especially Mark McDowell). I loved the pulled pork tacos at Blanco Tacos & Tequila, and the 1950s vibe and shakes at Sugar Bowl in Scottsdale! Any travel tips you can share? Keep a Smartwater with you at all times! Bring clothing that can be mixed-and-matched easily. Pick an airline to be loyal to and accumulate points. The perks we get with our points make traveling so much easier. Discover more at

COURTESY KELLY MONTAGUE
What do you love about creating art? I love exploring how public art, interactive art and social media intersect. I believe that art should not be separated from the human experience. Instead the human experience should have a hand in creating the art itself.
