If there was a sixth star Clark would have earned it. My wife and I, while on vacation to Sedona, came across one of Clark’s pieces (Fire in the Sky) and realized we had to have it. We ordered the piece on metal, and oh heavens, what a stunning piece. We placed it in our master suite, and I am ecstatic each morning I wake up and get to see it!!

What’s more, while in Sedona, Clark honored us with having coffee and chatting, and I must say it makes his art even more special as he is a great human being (and an extraordinary artist). We are now hooked, and I just ordered Mystical Desert Journey as our first piece of art needs a friend. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I cannot wait for years of collecting Clark’s artwork (and the start of a friendship)!!

We’ve been looking for years for you! Your style, use of color, and YOU made this such a wonderful experience. Thank you! And as I find more wall space, I’m not yet done collecting your wonderful Southwest Landscapes!

I have a couple of Clark’s pieces in my home. He creates some of the most beautiful and colorful artwork I’ve seen. Every piece is full of life—bold, vibrant, and totally mesmerizing. The way the colors blend and pop feels effortless, yet so powerful. 

There’s something truly uplifting about his work. It’s not just nice to look at—it makes you feel something. Whether it’s joy, calm, or just a sense of wonder, his art certainly makes a wonderful impression. 

Simply put, Clark’s work is stunning.

A True Gem – Veteran, Artist, and Kind Soul

Clark is the kind of person who leaves a lasting impression—not just through his vibrant artwork, but through his heart. As a U.S. Army Veteran turned artist, he brings a colorful imagination to life in every brushstroke, balanced with a deeply compassionate spirit. You can feel both strength and gentleness in his presence.

The piece I purchased from Clark is more than just art—it’s JOY in visual form. The colors are serene yet stunning, and every time I look at it, I feel cheerful, uplifted, and overjoyed. It’s like having a piece of happiness hanging on the wall.

But beyond the canvas, Clark is just an all-around super cool and friendly guy. His hospitality, humility, and genuine care for people shine through. You don’t meet many people like him—he’s the kind of human being this world needs more of.

10 stars aren’t enough. Thank you, Clark, for sharing your gift and your heart with the world. From your “New Best Friends” and “Brother and Sister in Arms” ~Melissa and Hector

I’m absolutely blown away by the talent and soul that pours from every canvas this artist touches. Each piece is a visceral expression of passion—colors that speak louder than words, textures that draw you in, and stories that unfold the longer you look. There’s an honesty in his brushwork that’s rare and unforgettable. It’s not just art—it’s emotion captured in paint.
If you’re searching for work that makes you feel something deep, look no further. This artist doesn’t just paint—he translates life into color. Unmissable and deeply moving.

My son is a budding artist. I reached out to Clark Sheppard about getting some guidance for him. Clark was exceptionally gracious, showing my son his works, talking about composition and directing the observer’s eyes. He then offered to look at my son’s art and provided honest feedback with a collaborative style that drew in my son as they worked real time on changes his digital art. Afterwards my son couldn’t stop talking about the experience!! Clark is an accomplished artist driven to give back to the artistic community. Highly recommended checking out his art and meeting him in person to absorb his wisdom!!

Clark is an extraordinary artist out of Sedona whose work is truly out of this world. His paintings burst with vibrant, bold colors that capture not just the eye, but the imagination, too. Each piece radiates energy, emotion, and a deep sense of wonder.

Clark is one of my patients, which means I get to see his incredible art firsthand whenever he brings it in—and it never fails to amaze me. His passion for painting and his joy in sharing his creations with others shine through in everything he does. If you ever have the chance to see his art in person, don’t miss it!

I came across Clark's striking work about five years ago while traveling in Sedona and hiking Bell Rock with my Dad. Notecards are a convenient way to take some art home, and I keep a collection from my travels to dip into throughout the year.

My problem is that I am reluctant to use the cards because they're so beautiful and I don't want to I decided to call and ask for more and would you believe I spoke to Clark, the artist himself? Delightful person. Apparently he has a newsletter and a raffle, so check the website for that.

I would highly recommend this artist for anyone who likes color and punch - the images basically glow and capture the lighting really beautifully. "Star Stuff" and "Pure Joy" are two of my favorites.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for this beautiful note—and for discovering my work on that Bell Rock hike with your dad. I’m honored the notecards made their way into your collection, and I’m happy to help you reorder anytime. It means the world that the glow and color speak to you—“Pure Joy” (from my special collection of the Top Nine) and “Star Stuff” are dear to me, too. If you’re back in town, I’d love to welcome you for a free studio tour of my Sedona southwest paintings and other glowing paintings. And yes—there’s a newsletter and a free art giveaway on my site if you’d like to join. Grateful for your kind recommendation!
