Penelope Stuart Bourk, M.A., the draws inspiration from myth for her current work as writer, weaver, sculptor, and teacher. Her essays, stories, and poems have appeared in journals, books, and newspapers. A "second journey" artist with a late-life passion for carving stumps and roots, her multi-media sculpture series contribute to programs at universities, conference centers, and churches in the Northwest. Recently com-missioned by a choreographer inspired by her Odyssey series, she created props for a new modern dance called 20XPenelope.
