Cathedral Moon Triptych – A Mystical Sedona Panorama in Three Panels

As a Sedona artist, Clark Sheppard has often received custom requests for Sedona’s most iconic landscapes in his unique luminous style. One of the most memorable commissions led to the creation of “Cathedral Moon Triptych” — a glowing three-panel panorama featuring Cathedral Rock under a mystical full moon.

Originally painted as a single image, Sheppard later reimagined the piece as a triptych, adding spatial harmony and visual impact. The moon is nestled directly behind “the Lovers” — a formation at the center of Cathedral Rock — enhancing the scene’s sense of stillness, connection, and Sedona’s otherworldly energy.

Radiant with bold color and layered brushwork, “Cathedral Moon Triptych” captures flowing water in the foreground, surrounded by vibrant terrain and distant mountain hues. The moon’s light unites all three panels in a single breath of magic, making “Cathedral Moon Triptych” an instant focal point for any space. This piece, like Sheppard’s earlier Cathedral Rock painting ‘Creekside Cathedral,’ was included in his sold-out collection shown at the American Contemporary Art Show in Guangzhou, China, and marked a continued evolution of his moonlit Sedona landscapes — a journey that also led to licensing with Warner Bros. for the series Snatchers.

This piece is available as a giclée on canvas, luminous metal, gift art photo plaque, or in a luxurious float frame. Clark Sheppard’s work is also featured at the Village Gallery and Sedona Artist Market and Gallery in Sedona, AZ.
