Roger Arndt

Canadian landscape artist Roger D. Arndt began to see the world through an artistic eye at the age of twelve. In the early 1970’s, at the age of fourteen, Arndt became inspired by the art of Loren D. Adams, Jr., a well-known seascape artist who was working out of Vancouver’s Granville Island district. Arndt became an apprentice to Adams and through careful observation and Adams mentoring, Arndt nurtured his own talent.

Over the next few decades, through a passion for exploration and academic study, Arndt’s love of nature sent him off exploring all the landscapes of the Canadian West including; the Alberta Rocky Mountains, Lake Louise, Jasper, and Athabasca regions hiking and camping at the base of towering mountains and ancient glaciers. Arndt draws inspiration from the wilderness of childhood memories, from family camping excursions to British Columbia’s Manning Park.

Arndt feels a powerful connection to his natural surroundings. He draws on nature, music and poetry; setting the tone and mood for each painting.

“First I begin with music, then I imagine myself in a place…and then I paint.”
