| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
Zurama's first strong inspiration was her father's paintings. One was a mural in their dining and living room that covered all the walls. It was a Canadian landscape. In the bathroom was a mural of Venice, Italy. She yearned to paint just like him.
Inspiration also came from viewing the work of Da Vinci, Goya, El Greco, Frida Kahlo, and others. Her most influential teachers are Martha Underwood, Becky Guzak, and Mary Hughes.

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I just needed to paint. I was born in Cuba and I grew up just painting my heart out. Things like paints were not available, so I can remember when I was nine making my own paints with white toothpaste and colored pencils which I pounded into powder. All I wanted was to paint and I would have done it with mud if I had to."
