Now even more people know what so many of us do… the SMA studios are bursting with great and imaginative art and the great artists who make it. Yossi is at the helm making it all happen for everyone! Kol ha kavod!

Thank you for such a great article. I’ve know Yossi for 25 years and you’ve so beautifully captured his innocence, curiosity and humor, which seems to permeate all that he does . He has an amazing capacity to evoke creativity in anyone who is lucky enough to pass through his world. The SM Art Studio is an extension of all that he is, and the vision he has, to provide space for the artist and their art to soar.

It is rare to find writing of such quality and such insight. I was especially taken by the penetrating analysis of Yossi’s unique personality and of his work.
Sincerely,

Love the article and the way Yossi and Sofiya interact while taking a tour of our studio complex.
I especially liked her observations of the different artists studios
they visited.
Thank you Sofiya- it made me smile.
