Meet our June Artists and Poets!
Taste the local flavor, experience the local art. Featured this month, our menu shares the spotlight with talented artists and poets from our community. We are hosting an artist reception here on Sunday, June 14th at 3:00pm.

Artist:
Lisa Matway
Lisa Matway is an abstract artist whose works explore the intersection of love, resilience, and the vital energy of life as it is shaped by Parkinson’s disease.
Through bright color palettes, layered surfaces, and expressive marks, Lisa’s paintings reflect the ways movement, emotion, and inner strength may be challenged—while still honoring the beauty, dignity, and humanity that remain.
Lisa and her husband, Jerry Overton, founded the creative studio “modart4pd” (Matway Overton Design Art 4 Parkinson’s Disease), donating proceeds to Parkinson’s research and caregiving communities—one artwork at a time.

Artwork available for sale at www.modart4pd.com
Donations for Parkinson’s support may be made to www.neurochallenge.org

Poet:
Monika Hetzler Bio
Monika Hetzler is a Venice based poet and visual artist. Inspired and fueled by her love of storytelling and community building, Monika creates collage filled zines and leads poetry and storytelling mics throughout the city.

April Bourne
April Bourne is a retired cybersecurity professional and lifelong poet who has been writing since the age of sixteen. Service runs deep in her family — she, her husband, and all three of her grown children have worn a military uniform, with two of her children continuing to serve in the U.S. Army Reserves. When she’s not writing, April can be found traveling, cycling, walking in nature, or savoring time with family and friends.
