Become an USH Visionary.

There is currently no cure for Usher syndrome. You have the power to change that. 

Limited Offer! Last Giving Tuesday, USH Visionaries received Dawn, the first painting in Timothy Chambers’ stunning USH Steeple Study series. Timothy, a master painter with Usher syndrome, captures the visual experience of retinitis pigmentosa through four remarkable paintings depicting a steeple at different times of day.

This year, as a heartfelt token of our gratitude, USH Visionaries who sign up before December 31st and give at least $50 monthly will receive a 5"x7" canvas print of Sunrise, the second work in the series.

From The Artist: 

“This series was inspired by my retinal specialist at Johns Hopkins when he said, ‘Tim, rather than paint things as they are 'supposed to be,' show the world what your Usher eyes see.’

These on-location studies capture the Usher visual experience at specific lighting conditions. It is a vigorous endeavor to be sure for, as Monet observed 120 years prior, ‘the light constantly changes, and that alters the atmosphere and beauty of things every minute.'

Thank you for supporting the Coalition and their support of me and others with Usher. We all are truly encouraged by your thoughtfulness and care in supporting research through the growth of our global community.” 

- Timothy Chambers
