My Art, My World

Rita Winkler, a young woman living with Down syndrome, shows us the world as she sees it through her art: a place full of joy and colour.

Rita: Do we have any boxes?

Mom: Sure, Why do you need a box? Rita:

My teacher says I have to think outside the box! 

Approaching her daily life with enthusiasm and humour, Rita rides public transit to her job working at a university coffee shop. She takes yoga and folk dance classes and enjoys drama and music at a day program, and she practices using sign language.

In My Art, My World, Rita shows us her love for the world through her great passion: making beautiful and fun works of art.
