After the Russian invasion of Ukraine began, Sana Shahmuradova, a full-time artist, had to move to the countryside. At first, she couldn't fathom creating any art.

"My brain got very much blocked," she told NPR's Weekend Edition. "I heard first explosions and it took me a week maybe, to get back to drawing."

With her art supplies left at home, she's gotten creative, sketching on wall paper scraps, using charcoal, her younger brother's crayons and gouache paints, even boiled beets.
