ABOUT ZARINA





Zarina Liew is a freelance illustrator based in both Cambridge and London. Using a mixture of pencils, Dr PH Martin’s Inks, watercolours and occasionally Photoshop, her work draws inspiration from early 19th century “Gift Book” artists, Japanese printmaking and fashion.

She has illustrated for a variety of private and editorial clients including The Times Educational Supplement, BBC Worldwide, Secretarialblog.co.uk, Who's Jack Magazine, Instinct Studios and DIGJEST.COM. She is also the lead illustrator and travelling artist for the indie small-press record label Track Fed Morphine.
