Kareena Zerefos

Kareena Zerefos is an Australian artist, whom specialises in capturing young children in "moments of endearing expression". She uses a range of media including, pencil, gouache, tea and ink, and mixes tradition with technology.

Her work is wonderfully sweet, and I love the way she connects childhood with nature. The hand-drawn quality to the images is gorgeous, and reminds me of the hand-drawn illustrations that used to come hand-in-hand with children's storybooks, before the digital age hit us.

Her work has appeared in publications such as Papier Mache, Inside Out, Creative Review, Small and Frankie.
