This isn’t a sales pitch.

It’s simply a collection of my most loved art—the nine images that have connected most strongly with collectors and visitors.

These works weren’t chosen by me—they earned their place through the response of collectors, visitors, and art lovers who paused, felt something, and stayed with them a little longer. Most are inspired by Sedona’s red rock landscapes and luminous desert skies.

And the Top Nine can change. The Watchman’s Glow proved that when, in just four months, it took the lead in sales among my non-Sedona images and earned its place here. Together, these nine reflect what has resonated most deeply—not what was promoted.

“Most Loved Southwest Sedona Art – The Top Nine title graphic with heart”

Top Nine Most Loved Sedona Art

Cathedral Moon

The painting that helped define my Cathedral Rock series — a luminous Sedona landscape anchored by calm, reverence, and a timeless full moon. 🌙✨

Cathedral Moon grew from a collector’s request to reinterpret Creekside Cathedral, my first oil painting after a six-year break. That earlier work was later licensed by Warner Bros., and its spirit lives on here. Cathedral Moon became the defining and most collected piece in my Cathedral Rock series, cherished for its quiet glow and sense of balance.
