Sedona’s Cathedral Rock – A Vivid Beginning to Sheppard’s Journey

“Sedona’s Cathedral Rock” marks the beginning of Clark Sheppard’s artistic exploration of color and design — a foundational painting that set the tone for his later mystical style. Created before his use of fluorescent acrylics and distinctively patterned skies, this piece captures the raw essence and glowing warmth of one of Sedona’s most iconic formations.

Set against a luminous desert sky, the red rock cliffs of “Sedona’s Cathedral Rock” rise majestically, grounded by natural shadow and organic forms. Unlike the surreal energy seen in “Fire in the Sky,”  a panoramic which would come later, this artwork embraces a more traditional yet bold approach, offering a vibrant, emotional interpretation of Sedona’s sacred landscape.

Available in both standard and panoramic formats, this piece is ideal for collectors seeking the roots of Sheppard’s journey or those drawn to the spiritual energy of Sedona’s vortex sites.

This piece is offered as a giclée on canvas, luminous metal, or a gift art photo plaque. Clark Sheppard’s art can also be found at the Village Gallery and Sedona Artist Market and Gallery in Sedona, AZ.
