our personal Parkinson's disease journey

matway overton design (mod) was created by the husband and wife team, Jerry Overton and Lisa Matway, to raise funds for Parkinson’s disease research and programs supporting people living with Parkinson’s disease and their caregivers.  

 

Jerry was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2018.  As a committed marathon runner, Jerry was always focused on movement, rhythm, endurance, and balance.  He continues this focus daily, by working diligently on his movement and balance capabilities which are now impacted by the disease.  

 

Lisa has taken this focus on movement, fluidity, and energy as the influence for her art.  Her blended color choices and volatility of lines encourages introspection, challenging and rewarding viewers as they bring their own feelings and experiences to the interpretation of each piece.
