John Salminen has won over 125 awards in national and international exhibitions. In 2003, he was a juror for both the NWS and AWS exhibitions. His work is widely published, and he is a popular lecturer and teacher in art venues across the USA.

John’s workshop begins with pure abstraction and concludes with realism. John has developed a non-threatening approach to abstraction, encouraging representational painters to experiment with a different style and challenging experienced abstract painters to expand their possibilities in expressing their creative voices. Having completed a successful abstraction, participants apply the same design concepts to the development of a realistic piece. The workshop includes demos, critiques, and lots of individual help during the painting time.
