Artist's Bio

Rachel Walker is renowned for watercolour, pen and ink artworks that draw on her awe of the natural world. Her drippy, energetic style is both loose in form and precisely detailed — capturing the attitude and beauty of birds, sea creatures, reptiles and wild animals.

Born and raised in the beautiful seaside town of Napier, New Zealand, Rachel trained at Massey University in Wellington where, after a few years travelling, she returned to live and paint. She has recently moved up to the sunny Kāpiti Coast. 

Rachel’s creative work has seen her involved in a range of projects, from commissioned pieces to painting for film and stage sets. 

Rachels original and printed works can be viewed in galleries around New Zealand, as well as the walls of many wonderful homes all over the world.
