American artist, author and cook
Tamara Shopsin is an American graphic designer, illustrator, author, and cook.[1] She has written memoirs, novels, and children’s books, and her illustrations have appeared in The New Yorker[1] and The New York Times.[2]
Along with her siblings, Melinda Shopsin and Zack Shopsin, she runs the New York City restaurant Shopsin’s.[3]
Shopsin was born in New York to parents Eve and Kenny Shopsin. She grew up in Greenwich Village in New York City with four siblings, including her twin, Melinda.[1][4] Her family ran Shopsin’s General Store, and her father was a chef and owner of their family’s restaurant. She is married to Jason Fulford, a photographer.[5] After her father’s death, she and her siblings took over their father’s restaurant, Shopsin’s.[3]
Shopsin’s illustrated memoir about her journey with an undiagnosed illness, Mumbai New York Scranton , was published in 2013.[2][6][7] In 2017, her memoir Arbitrary Stupid Goal was published; the book chronicles her upbringing in her family’s store and restaurant.[5][8]
Her first novel, LaserWriter II, was published in 2021.[9][10]
She and her husband have worked together on various picture books for children. They created the 2014 photography-based picture book, This Equals That.[11] Each page spread in the book contains two photographs that have a visual relation to one another.[12] The book was released by the photography magazine Aperture as part of a series of educational photography books.[13] In 2018, her and Fulord’s book, A Pile of Leaves, was published. The book contains cut-out leaves in transparent sheets for each page, that allows readers to look for hidden objects between the layers of pages.[14][15] Their board book, Find Colors, was published in 2018.[16]
