The Lines of Life

This is a biography of Elena Bezrukova, an extraordinary and fiercely determined woman whose work has had a profound impact on numerous lives in her native Kazakhstan.

Inspired by courses attended at the Elena Bezrukova Centre and her subsequent friendship with Bezrukova, the author tells how a child overcame her shyness to become a natural leader and founder of an institution renowned for enabling people to realize their potential by transforming their dreams into objectives.

Bezrukova is also a well-established artist. Encouraged by Tikhonovna, she developed a new genre of art- ‘Projective Graphics’ – and work by both women was displayed in a major exhibition in Almaty and published in an album in 2014.
