Gallery features Blaine artist

The works of Blaine artist Donna-Lee Elke will be on display at Bellingham’s Allied Arts Gallery during the month of April.

Elke is a contemporary and abstract artist who had spent several years as a fiber artist in Colorado. Using a multitude of media from acrylic paints, to charcoal, and pen and ink, Elke creates both representational and abstract work. Elke, however, said she discovered that her true freedom of expression comes through painting.

An artists’ reception for Elke, along with Bellingham artist Erin Libby, is scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday April 6 at the gallery at 1418 Cornwall Avenue in Bellingham.
