I finally added borsch to my Ukrainian food pillow collection. Have you tried Ukrainian borsch? It’s beet soup, the national food dish of Ukraine. Even more delicious with a dollop of smetana (sour cream) and some fresh dill. . Homeade Varenyky (perogies), Holubtsi (stuffed cabbage) and Borsch (beet soup) pillows are available on my Etsy shop: abamber.etsy.com . Смачного! . #EtsyShop #shopsmall #foodpillows #borsch #borscht #UkrainianFood #abamberart #sfetsy https://www.instagram.com/p/ClecY4PP48E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Book Birthday to “My Ukrainian American Story”! My book was published 5 years ago on October 14th, 2017. . Although my book is 5 years old, it does not get old for me to share my culture, see my book in libraries, and hear how my book has touched readers. . I would love for you to suggest that “My Ukrainian American Story” be added to your local library’s collection. . Thank you for your support and please continue to support Ukraine. 💙💛 . #MyUkrainianAmericanStory #ABamberArt #UkrainianAmerican #librarybook #supportlibraries #ShareUkrainianCulture #Childrensbook #kidlitartist #authorillustrator #kidlit #pb #picturebook #bookbirthday #shelfie #SFPL #SCBWI #onshelf https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjs29b2LotX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Pysanky eggs are a beautiful and important part of Ukrainian culture and are rich with symbolism and history. I haven’t made them in quite some time; I am more suited to drawing on paper and a screen. . This rooster will overcome darkness and is a guard of good against evil.

Celebrating Betye Saar (1926 - she’s still alive & making art!) • African American assemblage and collage artist, painter, and printmaker • Part of the Black Arts Movement in the 1970s • Her work focuses on themes of race, gender and spirituality I enjoyed watching videos of her lectures/talks and learning about her life/art making. I made this portrait of #BetyeSaar for the last assignment of the @makeartthatsells class I took taught by Tamisha Anthony & Lilla Rogers. . #illustrator #illustration #abamberart #instaart #makeartthatsells #blackarthistory #portraitillustration #blackwomenhistory #matsrbh2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/CZsKT75PeUH/?utm_medium=tumblr

I was going to draw a single character for #kidlitartpostcardday but ended up with 18. Is that my angle?!
