Madeline Zuluaga

Madeline Zuluaga (born 1993) is an American illustrator/storyteller. She is currently based in New York City.

Education
She attended the School of Visual Arts and graduated with a BFA in illustration in 2016.

Career
Much of Zuluaga's work revolves around watercolor, capybaras, and vegetables. She was inspired by her own mother's immigration story and the New York City immigrant community to create her comic Capybara Ferry. The story discusses the emigration of a turnip girl and turnip family. Zuluaga is a featured illustrator in Chapter 7 of the book When the Rules Aren’t Right: 7 Time Travel Tales of Activism.

In 2017 Zuluaga's work was also included Mine!, a comic collection to benefit Planned Parenthood that included works by Neil Gaiman, Gail Simone, and Gerard Way.

Personal life
Zuluaga is named after Madeline from the children's books of the same name by Ludwig Bemelmans at the request of her sister. It wasn't until the end of her college career that Zuluaga came to the realization that she wanted to be a storyteller.
