Julia Vasileva

Julia Vasileva (1991) is a picture book creator living in Vancouver, British Columbia. From an early age she had an avid love of books and stories, which led to her getting a literature degree. After she immigrated to Canada in 2014, she found herself creating books instead of studying them. Her illustration style combines traditional and digital techniques to build imaginative worlds for children to dive into. She is a member of SCBWI and a recipient of the 2024 Don Freeman Award. If not in her studio, you can find her up in the mountains or down by the ocean.
