Yohari – Not a gallery

Not every place that shows art and crafts is a gallery – or is it? We started Yohari as a place where we can share the outcome of our creative soulsearch. We are Jana Ostaptchouk and Peter van Vliet, an ex scientist and a (retired, but not really) editor and publicist. Together we decided to leave the treadmills behind us, to explore the other parts of our grey mass and follow some creative vibes.

Here you can see some of our work. It’s a starting point. And we can share this space. Do you have a story to tell and creative work to show, just let us know.

Enjoy.
