My Art, My World

Rita Winkler is a young woman living with Down syndrome. In My Art, My World she shows us the world as she sees it: a place full of joy, color, and the delight of life with her family and friends.

Approaching her daily life with enthusiasm and a dry sense of humor, Rita rides public transit to her job working at a university coffee shop. She takes yoga and folkdance classes and enjoys art, drama, and music at a day program. When it's time to celebrate holidays and the birthdays of those she loves, Rita likes to mark the occasions with paintings and handmade cards.
