Outi Turpeinen (b. 1971) is a visual artist-designer and an art expert who has had exhibitions internationally since 1993.

She has exhibited for example in Helsinki, Beijing, Faroe Islands and Barcelona.
“In the field of Finnish design Outi Turpeinen epitomises a contemporary artist who has broadened her expression from glass design to environmental works, artistic projects of a social and pedagogical nature, spatial design and video works. The surprising character, layering and even humorous content of art are all displayed in her works.” (Artist of the Year/ Ornamo 2012)
She has MA degree (ceramics and glass 1998) and Doctor of Arts degree 2005 from the Aalto University, Helsinki, where she has been also lecturing.
