     John Salminen has been conducting workshops for many years, all around the country, from California to New York and from Rhode Island to Florida. He enjoys working with artists at all levels of experience and expertise. His workshops begin with abstraction, encouraging representational painters to experiment with a different style and challenging experienced abstract painters to explore new possibilities in expressing their creative voices. The design elements explored through abstraction are then applied to representational paintings. His workshops include demonstrations, critiques and lots of individual help. Artists are encouraged to expand upon their current levels of understanding and become more comfortable applying the principles and elements of design to their work.


"As a participant in John Salminen's workshop, I will probably never approach my subject matter in the same way again. I believe my appreciation of John's teaching was shared by everyone who was able to attend. I know that if I ever have the opportunity, I would sacrifice much to attend another John Salminen workshop."
