Get ready for East Side Garage Sale Elaine Luneke ■ From Page 7 brings to all her work. “I believe that pursuing artistic endeavors can enhance everyone’s quality of life. I especially enjoy working with people who do not think that they are ‘talented’ to help them see how much fun and fulfilling art can be,” Luneke explained. Wandering around in one of her classes to get a couple snapshots for this article, I saw some extraordinary work being done. Great rapport between Luneke and her students was obvious the moment I stepped into the class. In just a few minutes, I watched Luneke confer with several students making helpful suggestions and getting very positive responses. One of Luneke’s students, Lissa Willis, told me last year that Luneke is an inspirational teacher. “I have done things I never thought I was capable of. She’s just great,” Willis said. When I again wandered around one of her classes this year, I saw the very same dynamic at work. Luneke and husband, David, have been Charbonneau residents since 2012. They came to the Portland area in 1986, spending PMG FILE PHOTO Instructor Elaine Luneke, left, demonstrates a watercolor technique for a classroom observer and student Sue Wright, right. most of their years in West Linn. Prior to moving to Oregon, Luneke worked for an architectural and stained glass company in Springfield, Ill. Of her 10 years there, Luneke said “some of our most exciting work was for ecclesiastical settings, designing stained glass windows and interiors for new and existing churches.” “We had the opportunity to restore pieces as diverse as Tiffany and Frank Lloyd Wright,” she added. Luneke is as inspirational a teacher as she is talented as an artist and designer. You will enjoy meeting her and work as you enter this year’s Charbonneau Art Festival, Nov. 1-3. It is not too early to mark your calendars. ■ Fre e Residential Decks • New or Replacement • Cover cracked or damaged concrete patios • Multiple options for long life, easy care aluminum railing (Pickets, Glass or Cable, Infill) DXURUDFRORQ\ 9LQH\DUGV Tas t ing s E ver y Da y!
