Lukens has been singing
since she was three years old
and playing piano since age
seven.
“I played and sang at any
place I could when I was
young, I just knew I loved to
perform, loved learning about
the voice as an instrument,”
she said.
Throughout her middle
school and high school years,
Lukens was heavily involved
in the Youth Choir of Central
Oregon and sang at Carnegie
Hall and in Chicago with the

Alana Lukens, graduate
of the class of 2018, has been
busy in the summer leading
up to her first year of college.
Lukens, 18, decided to put on
a fundraiser for the homeless
community of Bend. Lukens
approached the Backdoor
Café as well as leaders at
the Bend United Methodist
Church to put on a fund-
raiser to raise money for the
homeless community to have
resources made available to
them.
“I had the idea to do a
concert at the location, and
thought it would be cool to
make it into a fundraiser for

Craig Breitbach was part of a communitymbuilding exhibition of the stone carver’s art.
A community carved in stone
By Jodi Schneider
Correspondent
Stone carving is an age-
old art form that has cap-
tured the imagination and
heart of hundreds of artists
of the Pacific Northwest and
around the globe.
Last Saturday The
NorthWest Stone Sculptor
Association (NWSSA)
hosted the 4th annual
Outdoor Stone Sculpture
Show at Suttle Lake Camp.
The exhibit was the last
day of a weeklong sympo-
sium that was open to all lev-
els from beginners who have
never carved stone before to
the experienced sculptor.
Over 50 beginner and
intermediate carvers came
to learn and grow as art-
ists and to try new things in
a supportive environment.
And professional sculptors
gathered to work on projects,
share information, get inspi-
ration, and help beginners.
During the symposium
the public was encouraged
to come by and watch world-
class stone carvers create
their art. There was a tremen-
dous volume of stone dust;
the noise of saws, blades and
chisels; the miles of cords
stringing out across the work
field linking the easy-up
tents to generators and power
sources. There was a huge
variety of stone being used:
jade, basalt, alabaster, mar-
ble, calcite, quartz, onyx, and
more. To see them first in the
raw, then shaped, textured
and polished was an incred-
ible experience.
Every stone has unique
properties; and every piece
of stone its own personality,
often hidden until the carver
begins his or her interior
exploration. Imagine a hunk
of marble morphing into a
sculpture of a ponderosa pine
tree.
