10: Melinda Bergman
When we last put the spotlight on 100 creative forces in Phoenix, it was no secret there were more than 100 individuals who were making waves in the local arts community. So in celebration of our Best of Phoenix issue, we're profiling 100 more. Welcome (back) to 100 Creatives.
Melinda Bergman was born in San Diego and moved to Phoenix after living in Sweden for 25 years.

The Phoenix creative scene could use ... large scale, fully equipped, professional community art work spaces for different techniques and media.
