ABOUT

Hey, what’s up? Thank you for showing interest in my work and wanting to know more about me as an artist. My name is Zullette, family and friends call me Zu. There are a few things to know about me before we dive into the artsy details. 

-I am originally from North Philadelphia. Grew up in Rochester, NY. 

-I am Puerto Rican. You’ll see lots of art dedicated to the culture. I’ve made it my mission to stay connected to my heritage on purpose. 

-I am a mother and a wife. There will be work dedicated to motherhood and parenthood. 

-I am a retired therapist. Yes, I am still so young lol but I decided to dedicate my time to motherhood. I have a masters degree in art therapy and a bachelors in fine arts.

-I own a restaurant with my family. Check out Steak N Fries when you are in San Diego. 1039 Garnet Ave San Diego, CA 92109. 

Now here’s what you really want to know: 

I am a printmaker. My favorite forms of printmaking are etching, cardigraphy and screen printing. Yes, I just love a long creating process. Printmaking has taught me self discipline, my potential and patience. It is my therapy, it is essential to my well-being. I fell in love with printmaking in college and grad school, I just can’t let go. There's just something about the gritty feel I'm able to obtain in my work in the etching and cartography processes. I also love how playful and flexible screen-printing is.

I create art to reflect the beauty and struggles of my environment and culture. My influences and inspirations come from personal experiences and stories I often hear in my community. I am moved by my culture and heritage; my work stems from the places I have lived and continuously renew myself in.

I hope my work moves you and brings you peace and balance. Thank you for taking time out to get to know me and showing support.  

Love, Zu
