abstract note	This thesis examines the use of landscape motifs by two contemporary Canadian artists to express their spiritual aspirations. Both Robert Houle and Otto Rogers, inspired by the Canadian prairie landscape, employ its abstracted form to convey their respective spiritual ideas. The attitude of the Saulteaux (Plains Ojibway) toward the land and other aspects of their spiritual life are explored to better understand the spiritual iconography in Houle’s art. Similarly, the Bahá’í Faith’s viewpoint about the land are discussed along with some of its other teachings as expressed in Rogers' work. There is also examination of their choice of abstraction as the formal vehicle for a spiritual message. A thorough analysis of several of their works establishes how the artists employ the landscape and its features to convey a sense of spirituality.
