Inspired by the art of Rita Winkler, a 37-year-old, Toronto-based watercolour artist who was born with Down syndrome and who brings joy into the world through both her art and her actions.
“Rita’s paintings are playful and intuitive, not analytical. You can feel the fun she has making them. There is freedom from realism in her choice and placement of colour, and in her addition of decorations like dots and stripes. I knew it would be a great experience to use her work as inspiration and source material for a new textile line that blends our artistic perspectives.” – Barry Roode
The Rita’s World collection consists of six patterns and one large scale mural available in six colourways.
Born in Calgary, Alberta, Canadian watercolour artist Rita Winkler currently lives in Toronto with her mother, Helen.
