Artist

Terhi was born in Jväskylä, Finland, and she has been living in Tampere since 2007. Doing arts and crafts has always been interesting to her, and in the year 2020 she began painting penguins characters called Pikku Pingviinit ( translates to Little Penguins) and created herself a small business. Ever since she painted her first penguins, her imagination has created so many fun personalities and characters.

Terhi has accepted her work happily, bacause penguins as animals are the kind she loves to portrait in her art: empathetic, loving and protective of eachother. And also slightly humanly: a little clumsy but determined to get back up and continue forward.

Her official profession is hair dresser, and Terhi took a leap in 2023 to pursue a career in marketing, beginning her studies to become a professional. As of now, she is looking for a full- time job, and will continue to illustrate our beloved penguin characters.

She believes that being silly and creative is not bound to any age, gender or the length of ones beak. This page and our style are just a little glimpse of our world, where you are warmly welcome to enter!
