Sylvia Walker, a southern California native,  brings a natural affinity to the artistic painting of multicultural images, especially children.  She expresses herself in a variety of media, including watercolor, pencil, ink, and acrylic on canvas and wood.  After earning a BFA Degree at California Institute of the Arts she began a career in fashion illustration for department stores, fashion houses, and the Simplicity and McCall’s pattern companies.

Sylvia has years of experience illustrating children’s books for Scholastic, Harper Collins, Penguin Random House, Just Us Books, Essence Golden Books, Molly Trolley Publishing and Dover Publications.  Her freelance clients include National Adoption Center, Keystone Health Partners, Hallmark Cards, and the United States Post Office. Sylvia and her husband live in Culver City California.

Sylvia is excited to begin focusing on writing and illustration as a client of Elizabeth Bennett at Transatlantic.
