Julianna notes her up-bringing and environment as significant impacts 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 fairy tales 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."
