Flinders Art Show – May Update and special invitation

MAY 2025 UPDATE
Invitation – Saturday 19th July 2025
Flinders Civic Hall Conference Room. 

The Flinders Art Show Committee, with the Peninsula Plein Air Painting Group, invites the community to a special presentation from international pencil artist, Frederick Terpstra, who will talk about his journey from growing up on the Mornington Peninsula to now living and working in Switzerland.  Frederick will discuss his art practice while showing a selection of images on the screen as well as on paper.

Frederick was a student at Dromana Primary School and his family lived in Dromana, running a local winery, Karina Vineyard. A work opportunity for his father Gerard allowed them to move to Switzerland.

Frederick moved to Switzerland in the middle of high school and had to adapt quickly to living in Europe,  learning to speak German, French and Italian. Through this journey his creativity and obsession with drawing supported him, eventually developing and evolving into a consuming and successful career.

Frederick is very active on Instagram, showing his working process and how busy he is exhibiting in Europe. Click HERE for his resume ( It’s in French, but you will get the idea!) and his website HERE

The members of the Peninsula Plein Air Painting group are very supportive and look forward to meeting Frederick. See some of his work below.
