Julianna Swaney's (aka Oh My Cavalier) work has always intrigued us - Her whimsical, delicate and almost narrative drawings are just as beautiful as the illustrations found in old story books. Julianna notes that her up-bringing and environment had a significant impact on her work, "I grew up in the wilds of Michigan, playing out in the woods behind my house every day and cultivating a love of animals and bird watching. I was lucky enough to have an early education that also cultivated my imagination, books were always very important in our house, and I always had a love of fairytales and magic that I could find in the real world though nature and history. It’s these experiences that have had the greatest effect on my work." The images above are some of her latest works however all of her works are of the same aesthetic.
