Neryl Walker is an Australian born illustrator and artist who loves to draw women. Armed with a degree in Graphic Design, she followed her passion for drawing and painting.
Inspired by a love of the past, her studio and 1950's home is filled with countless sources of nostalgic inspiration. Vintage graphics and typography, packaging, signs, flea market treasures, girlie magazines, records and books.
Her strong, playful girls can be found on Bare Escentuals, Bloom Cosmetics and a swag of international clients including Coca Cola, Angostura, Target, and McDonalds. She has been published by Penguin, Chronicle Books, Harper Collins, New York magazine, Vogue Nippon and Hardie Grant. Her work has been included in Luerzer's Archive top 200 Illustrators and she exhibits her paintings regularly.
Neryl currently lives in Melbourne with her husband, daughter and their stray cat Marvin. The family joke is that even the cat is secondhand.
