About
Hello and thank you for stopping by! My name is Julie, I'm an artist from Saint Petersburg and creator of Manonboudoir, online boutique of watercolor illustrations, art prints, accessories and paper goods of my design.
Manonboudoir is not just my pen name, it's the delicate powder pink universe and the world of reverie I created back in 2017. Originally inspired by the French novel "Manon Lescaut" and the art of the 18th century, Manonboudoir illustrations follow the adventures of my characters, princess Manon, and her white cat Gigi while they celebrate life and its beauty in the little moments.
Since starting my studio, I have collaborated with some of Europeโs renowned brands and institutions, including Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild and Ninaโs Marie Antoinette. In 2022, I held my first solo exhibition at Hotel Caron de Beaumarchais in Paris. In 2024 I presented a personal exhibition at the prestigious contemporary art salon "Art Shopping" at the Carrousel du Louvre.
My work has been featured in Victoria Magazine and The Good Life France and is part of private collections worldwide, including in the USA, Japan, UK, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, the Philippines, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.
