Career
Much of Zuluaga's work revolves around watercolor, capybaras, and vegetables.[2] 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.[2] Zuluaga is a featured illustrator in Chapter 7 of the book When the Rules Aren’t Right: 7 Time Travel Tales of Activism.[3]
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.[2] It wasn't until the end of her college career that Zuluaga came to the realization that she wanted to be a storyteller.[2]
