Roger D. Arndt began to see the world through an artistic eye at the age of  twelve, when he set out on his journey into the world of fine art.

In the early 1970's, at the age of fourteen, Roger 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. Roger became an apprentice to Adams. Through careful observation and Adam's mentoring, Roger nurtured his own talent. He learned how to put paint on canvas, and express his vision through his brushes.

In those early years, Roger focused mainly on seascapes while his talent blossomed and grew. In his late teen years, Roger discovered his love for the Rocky Mountains. He spent several months each year exploring Alberta's Lake Louise, Jasper, and Athabasca regions, hiking and camping at the base of towering mountains and ancient glaciers.

Roger was moved by the power and majesty of the mountains. His soul inspired, he began to paint these vast and glorious monuments. Roger also become fascinated with west coast Haida totems. He wanted to add structure to his paintings, and after studying the history of totems at the University of British Columbia, he began to incorporate them into his ocean paintings.

Roger D. Arndt's hallmark scenes of towering Rocky Mountains, western forests, Pacific shores and gardens have captured the attention of fine art collectors world wide.
