She was a CORE Education eFellow,[2] a winner of a Microsoft Innovative Teacher Award for her teaching, and a former principal of a primary school.
She became recognised for her educational work in ICT and eLearning, and was principal of Mulberry Grove School, on Great Barrier Island, New Zealand.
She has appeared in numerous New Zealand and Australian exhibitions and anthologies, including Oats, Dad and Tracy, My Soiled Sample, Pictozine, Tiny Peeks, Blood and Thunder, My Life as a Mega-rich Bombshell, and Loser Gurrl.
Her work has also appeared in the mainstream magazines f*INK, Pavement, Loose, and Werewolf, and she is a regular contributor to the published Melbourne comics periodical Dailies.
[8] In mid-2014 Indira Neville joined up with New Zealand graphic novelists, writers and fellow comics artists Rachel Fenton and Sarah Laing.
[10] The Three Words project has also proved to be a catalyst for promoting the work of New Zealand women comics artists and writers through their blog[9] and Facebook group.
Neville was actively involved in this cluster, whose aims are to connect the educational organisations on the island, "...developing a shared vision that runs through early childhood, primary and secondary schooling, and working cooperatively to achieve it".
She posted cartoons used in the Mulberry Grove School newsletter that depict strange beasts inspired by the things she found vexing and fascinating in her job as principal.
[22] She was also a member of Thee Ideal Gus, which held Yoko Ono and Eddie Murphy in equal high regard.
