The Story Behind “Sedona’s Crescent Moon Ranch”
I’ve lived in Sedona since 2003, and for years, I saw the signs for Sedona’s Crescent Moon Ranch without ever visiting. It reminded me of my time in New Jersey—living only 35 miles from the Empire State Building, yet never going until a friend insisted.
I discovered Sedona’s Crescent Moon Ranch in an unexpected way. During my early days in Sedona, I occasionally worked as an extra in TV commercials—just for fun. One of those commercials was filmed right here at Sedona’s Crescent Moon Ranch. Luckily, I had my phone with me that day, and those spontaneous photos became the inspiration for this painting. Later, in my Sedona studio, I turned them into this luminous acrylic piece that captures both the tranquility and the timeless spirit of the Ranch beneath Cathedral Rock’s golden light.
“Sedona’s Crescent Moon Ranch” captures that beautiful irony of life—the way extraordinary places can go unnoticed until the right moment makes them stand out. This painting is my way of honoring that rediscovery—when familiar surroundings suddenly feel sacred.
The Cathedral Rock Series
This piece is part of my Cathedral Rock Series, a collection celebrating Sedona’s most iconic landmark. “Sedona’s Crescent Moon Ranch” shares a spiritual connection with my very first oil painting, “Creekside Cathedral,” which was licensed to Warner Bros. for media use and later sold during my exhibit at the American Contemporary Art Show in Guangzhou, China. Both paintings convey a similar reverence for Sedona’s glowing red rock formations and the creative energy flowing through this landscape.
Painting in the Glow of Sedona’s Light
This acrylic painting is filled with the vibrant color and movement that characterize my Sedona luminous landscapes. The radiant sky—painted in layered turquoise, rose, and violet—creates a rhythmic dance above Cathedral Rock, while the golden path and purple shadows guide the eye through memory and imagination.
Every brushstroke was guided by the light that inspired me that day at Crescent Moon Ranch. Though created with acrylics, it radiates the same luminous quality as my artwork, capturing the warmth, peace, and wonder that attract many to Sedona.
Where to See It in Person
This artwork is on display at the Village Gallery—one of Sedona, AZ’s top art galleries, where collectors can view the full range of my Sedona luminous landscapes and Southwest wall art in person.
The Heart of It All

falling in love—it’s an unforgettable feeling.
