My name is Rita
I have Down syndrome. I look different. And I see things in a different way.
I have a job in the Lemon and Allspice Cookery. I do yoga and folk dance classes. I play music and act in plays. And I’m trying to learn sign language.
But I like making art best of all. Art is beautiful and I have a lot of fun making it.
My Art
I have made more than 300 pieces of art.
I hope you like them. I have many favourites.
Which ones are yours?
My Friends
Here is where we will feature some of my friends who are great artists.

When I’m not making art, I do lots of other things. I work in the Cookery. My yoga and folk dance classes are where I meet my good friends. We move around and do cool poses. I also like playing music. And drama because we get to wear different clothes and pretend to be someone else. Sign language is hard to learn, but I practice to get better.

She can show you how we do it.
Then you can learn how to make art too.
Mark
He wants to talk to gallery owners and art collectors.
Uncle Mark lives in New York City. It’s a busy place. Full of traffic and people.
Some stores have art on the walls to buy. Uncle Mark thinks my art can be in those stores. And people will buy it.
