I work to support vulnerable artists. Russell Ronnelly Jones was an amazing artist and a quiet, humble man. Often isolated, Russell struggled with a mental health diagnosis and depression. I had the pleasure of working with Russell for 16 years; for 7 of these in collaboration with Brighton's Royal Pavilion & Museums, supporting local Community Engagement. We shared a great passion for creating art. When Russell passed away there was no one to take care of his amazing artworks. Russell had only a few friends, some vulnerable or disabled too.

With permission from his sister (she too lives with disability), myself & my colleagues volunteered to save Russell's paintings.

We would love to give Russell a funeral ceremony fit for an incredibly talented local artist.

We also wish to hold a benefit exhibition to extend our project - to reach and support more vulnerable or disabled artists. Our aim is for Russell's shortened life to give hope and meaning to others.

The first 40 people that donate over £25 will receive a high-quality reproduction print of Russell's artwork.

Please give a thought for those that experience isolation and discrimination. Share our appreciation for Disability Arts. We thank you.
