About
Hi, I’m Dana Zullo, and I’m here to help you shine as you navigate the college application process for visual art and design programs. With years of experience as an art educator and admissions guide, I specialize in helping students create portfolios that truly stand out. My goal? To inspire you to keep learning, growing, and adapting on your creative journey—and to present your unique voice in a compelling way.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working in amazing museums and galleries, like the New York Transit Museum, Caren Golden Fine Art, and Crown Point Press.
Meet Dana Zullo: Your Art Portfolio Advisor
I also spent two incredible years teaching secondary school art in Ghana as a Peace Corps volunteer and later served as a Senior Enrollment Representative at the Savannah College of Art and Design. These experiences have shaped how I connect with students and approach the creative process.
I’m also a writer and practicing artist myself. I’ve published artist biographies and have been honored to participate in residencies at South Porch Artists, The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow, and Sundress Academy for the Arts. My poetry and floral art (I practice the Ichiyo School of Ikebana) bring nature and creativity into my daily life—and influence how I work with students.
My students have gone on to study at top schools, including RISD, Parsons, Pratt, SAIC, MICA, SCAD, and CalArts—many with portfolio scholarships. Watching them thrive and make their mark in the creative world is rewarding.
When we work together, you’ll find that I coach with care and dedication. I’m here to help you discover your unique qualities, showcase them beautifully, and feel confident about the next steps in your creative journey. Let’s make your art—and your story—shine!
