Canadian landscape artist Roger D. Arndt, born in 1959, was deeply influenced by Loren D. Adams, Jr., whom he apprenticed under in Vancouver. His explorations of the Canadian West, including the Rocky Mountains and British Columbia's wilderness, fueled his artistic inspiration. Arndt's early exhibitions focused on seascapes, particularly of the West Coast, but he later incorporated totem poles and garden motifs into his work. He resides and works in Kelowna, British Columbia, drawing inspiration from his family-owned orchard. Arndt's art often reflects his connection to nature, incorporating elements of music and poetry to set the mood. He regularly exhibits at events like the Calgary Stampede's Western Art Showcase and is a founding member of the Western Lights Artists Group. Arndt continues to explore and paint the landscapes of Western Canada, drawing from his field trips and outdoor activities like camping and fly fishing.
