Asheville poet Elaine Bleakney wanted a new portrait for the launch of her new book ”For Another Writing Back”. “Bleakney’s meditative and searching poems artfully assemble not a linear narrative, but an evocative consideration of a life.” – Publishers Weekly. Samples of her artful work can be read on her web site. Elainebleakney.com
Below Elaine is artist Mark Bettis. His captivating, multilayered abstracts can be seen at his new studio/gallery in the Cotton Mill Studios in Asheville.
