Salminen Studio

Urban landscape painter, John Salminen, lives in the wooded area of northern Minnesota. John and his wife Kathy homesteaded the property in the early 70’s and have called it home every since. When I asked John why he doesn’t paint scenes of the beautiful landscape that surrounds him, he replied that it was so beautiful that it would be impossible to improve on the subject.

Kathy Salminen’s photo is from early December 2009. She reports that there have been many major snow falls since.

John’s studio is in the basement.
