She settled in Paris studied at the Alliance Fran\u00e7aise and attended the Acad\u00e9mie de la Grande Chaumi\u00e8re the mythical place in the legendary neighbourhood of Montparnasse.
\nIn 1950, she married Louis Mitelberg known as TIM a political cartoonist in Paris.
\nZuka followed her own path, an unconventional one relative to contemporary trends.
\nHer choice of subjects were many and varied, portraits, historical themes of American life and the French Revolution, landscapes, birds and cows, extremely well painted with intense colours and lively brushwork. Her images evoke the gaiety and innocence of folk art.
