日本の絵本作家で、代表作には「いやだいやだの絵本」「あーんあーんの絵本」「めがねうさぎ」シリーズなど。第17回サンケイ児童文学出版文化賞を受賞。
せなが生まれた1931年から1950年までの子ども時代は、父親が大きな影響を与えていた。父親は旧幕臣の三男で、東洋生命保険に務めていた。また、父親は声楽を志望しており、音楽や山歩きを愛していた。当時のせなが最も大きな影響を受けたのは、父親であったという。
生まれた後、1931年4月に東京高等師範学校附属高等女学校（現：お茶の水女子大学附属高等学校）に入学。1950年に同校を卒業する。入学後から本格的に絵を描くことを生業にしようと決意していたが、母親はそれに反対したため美術大学への進学を断念し、独立して日本銀行に就職する。
日本銀行時代（1951年 - 1956年）には、働きながらも絵描きとしての仕事を求め、自作のカット見本を持って出版社めぐりを行った。その結果、『少女』などの雑誌で挿絵を掲載されるようになった。人生の大きな転機となったのは、童画家・武井武雄との出会いであった。1951年10月から10月7日まで開催された第5回童画美術展のパーティに参加したせなが、そこで武田雪夫と知り合い、その後は武田を通じて武井武雄を紹介された。
こうして、武井武雄の弟子となり童画の師事を受けたせなは、瀬名恵子名義で児童書の挿絵を描き始めた。その後、日本銀行内にサークル「かみきりの会」を発足させ、色セロファンを用いた色影絵透視紙芝居を作り始め、1954年にフレーベル館の講堂で発表した。さらに、1955年には日本童画会会員になり、1956年5月には日本銀行を退職する。
その後、1963年に落語家・6代目柳亭燕路と結婚し、長男と長女が誕生。1969年11月に、デビュー作『いやだいやだの絵本』シリーズが出版され、その後「あーんあーんの絵本」「めがねうさぎ」などの多くの名作を世に出した。
