I’m Yulia — an illustrator, writer, and homesteader living a storybook life filled with nature, nostalgia, and handmade magic.

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 tea. My work is deeply connected with the rhythms of the seasons, classical beauty, and a longing to preserve the fleeting charm of a simpler old world as it looked like in vintage books.

With over a decade of experience and 35+ illustrated books, I specialize in timeless, nature-inspired art that feels like an invitation to slow down, dream deeply, and come home to your true feelings. I aim to make every page feel like a story you’ve always known.

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
