The Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies 
January 26 - April 7

Arto was born in Cairo, Egypt to Armenian parents. He was raised in and studied photography in Montreal. He has been photographing seriously since the age of sixteen. Living and working in Alberta since 1977, Arto Djerdjerian is dedicated full-time to his practice as a photographer in Alberta. His works include special commissions, architectural, corporate, equine, and portraiture. Arto’s works hang in many private collections, corporate offices, and government buildings.

Arto Djerdjerian is interested in the integration of fine art and photography. He continues to expand his vision and environment photography, from the backyard to the wilderness of Alberta to Wyoming and the urban world of New York City to Montreal.

Arto Djerdjerian combines horses, people, mountains, and history in his skillful photographs taken in some of the wildest and untamed places.

Arto has been photographing life at Ya Ha Tinda, Canada's only federally owned and operated working horse ranch, for six years. By carefully observing the workday routine at the ranch, Arto is able to capture photographs that reveal the ranch's gritty, hard work as well as magnificent animals and natural beauty.
