I’m Yulia — an illustrator, writer, and homesteader living a storybook life filled with nature, nostalgia, and the work that feels good.

Raised on fairytales and wildflowers, I now create from a cottage of my own, where ducks wander under apricot trees, and each morning begins with watercolor and my favorite coffee. My work is deeply connected with the rhythms of the seasons, classical beauty, and a desire to preserve the fleeting charm of a simpler old world as it looked  in vintage books.

With over a decade of experience and 35+ illustrated books, I aim to create timeless, nature-inspired art that feels like an invitation to slow down, dream, and come home to your true feelings. I try to make every page feel like a storybook you loved when you were a child.

Right now, I’m building a new body of work for publishing, licensing, and personal projects - all created with a belief that beauty can still change the world.

Thank you for visiting my corner of the hills.

Warmly,
Yulia
