As the family's first creative, Zula taught her daughters about painting, stitching, and the arts. My mother has a PhD in Art History and writes for various art journals around the globe. My aunt is a world traveler and excels at Japanese embroidery. Today, I use their teachings and inspiration to design home decor.
