Kerima specializes in compelling surreal and highly stylized scenes of everyday life. She uses bold outlines, geometric shapes and a selective earthy palette to construct rhythmically appealing compositions, simultaneously paying tribute to Ethiopian painting tradition and dynamically challenging its expressive possibilities. Her works focus on collective human experiences, transposing and translating them using her captivating and distinctive abstract visual language.

 Since 1998, her work has been a part of group exhibitions held at various galleries, museums, embassies and cultural centers in Ethiopia, Djibouti, Sudan, Austria, the Netherlands and Germany.
She held a workshop and exhibition at the Sudan University of Science & Technology College for Fine and Applied Art in 2008, and also held art exhibitions in Djibouti in 2009, at the Tulifanya Gallery in Uganda in 2010, and at the Talisman Gallery in Addis Ababa in 2011.

Her recent solo exhibitions include: Columbia City Gallery, Seattle (2013), C Art Gallery, Seattle (2012), Norm Maxwell Studio Gallery, Los Angeles (2011) and Arthur Rimbaud Museum, Harar (2005, 2006).
