Karen Erasmus lives by the sea just south of Melbourne with her children and husband. The coastal environment and the vibrant countryside around her home provide inspiration for her illustrations.
Karen’s lively home life often finds its way into her artwork; she loves to create artwork that brings stories to life. She has enjoyed illustrating over 20 picture books. Karen draws on an iPad carefully choosing colour palettes and textures.
When she isn’t drawing Karen enjoys travelling, she has lived in many different parts of the world and was originally from the UK. She settled in Melbourne to raise her children and loves her adopted home country.
