SAJArt: Living with Parkinson's and Art
Steve was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) at 52. After overcoming the initial shock and learning more about the illness, he discovered several surprising facts:
-
The way Parkinson’s develops is still unknown.
-
It’s a progressive condition that worsens over time.
-
There is currently no cure.
-
Parkinson’s is the fastest-growing neurological disorder worldwide.
-
​
With these realities in mind, he chose to use his art to help raise awareness of the disease.
When you purchase his artwork, you’re taking home part of his creative story, and every penny above the direct cost of production, goes directly to funding essential Parkinson’s research. It’s truly a win–win: together, we can all make an impact.
