A week ago I spontaneously went on a 3-day vacation with a friend. As part of the humor between us, which we developed during the vacation, we kept telling each other "If we go out - we come back." After I got back, I kept thinking about this sentence and the slight change we made to it and came to some insights. So I decided to write about it.

For quite some time, Chen Bar-Shai and I have been walking together. It started literally "by chance," as you can read here below, and continued into a romance that will soon mark 6 years. And today, Chen and I already hold several titles - friends, students, teachers, partners in the journey, and colleagues. A year ago, I had a breakthrough when I asked Chen if she would like to teach courses in my studio that would teach the basics of working in the visual diary. As part of my development process, I realized that I did not have enough resources to teach additional groups and engage in business development, automation, and the expansion of the studio at the same time. Chen was the perfect solution for me! Since then, Chen has managed to teach 3 courses, quite a few workshops, and her students simply fell in love with her and have continued to come ever since. Win Win, didn't I say?

Forget your worries for a moment?

What is the connection between muscle and art? Or a change in behavior? ... and how do they relate to my personal sense of victory? And also - why at the first opportunity you have, will you jump to train muscles with me?

Shlomit has only been involved in the field of art in recent years, but her love for art has been there since she was a child. She began her professional career in investment management in the financial business world. A little over 4 years ago, Shlomit decided to return to her old love and even make it the center of her life.

What is art? Who is an artist? Who decides when art deserves to be called art? And why do so many people think that engaging in art is "not for them"?
