Zulma Brooks

Born and raised in Harlem, NYC, I have been a self-taught mixed media and acrylic artist for the past 28 years. I have admired the works of mostly black artists from the 1940's to the present. As a child, I loved visiting museums, taking advantage of NYC's rich cultural offerings. However, I didn't see the works of artists of color or women curated for the walls of all the famed venues, mainly white male artists, and yet there is still much work to be done in the way of representation for everyone else. My cultural background is Puerto Rican and Black American; some of my work reflects that, but I also create abstracts and whatever else I'm in the mood to create.

Art & Fashion School dropped out way back in the 1990's, but I learned enough to add to it as I grew my skill set.
