I have just finished my M.A in Children's Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art and thoroughly enjoyed it. I consider myself an illustrator and I work for a company called 'Creative Minds' who take art and craft sessions to older adults and adults with learning disabilities. The following entries are my drawings and musings. All images are copyright of Kerina Strevens. Please contact me on my website kerinastrevens.co.uk.

Winter Reflections
A good start to January. Another cartoon in Private Eye. I am extremely pleased. I've felt all at odds this week. It's felt like a very difficult week. I had a few sessions which is really good and most of them were very upbeat and positive but the last one was a real effort. No staff and as I'm new to the home, I don't know the residents and they've only met me once before. It makes it a lot more difficult but we turned out a few pieces of very nice work and they were very pleased with their efforts. Hopefully, it will be a bit better next time. I have a lot of driving to do in the coming week. The homes are quite a distance from me. One of them I used to visit when I was seven, as my Mum worked there for a while and my brother and I used to go with my Dad to drop Mum off at work. These were the days before my sister came along. I never thought then that I would ever go back there but then when I was 10 and the school visited Framlingham Castle, I never thought that 25 years on I would be working round the corner from it. It's funny how life works out.
