Rita Winkler is now a successful artist

When Rita joined DANI, her incredible creative talent and deeply caring nature were already evident. Rita always thoroughly enjoyed designing cards for birthdays, holidays or any occasion. The staff at DANI encouraged her to pursue her passion and further develop her natural abilities. Through instruction and personal guidance, she began to refine and enhance her abilities.

What followed was life changing: An uncle, involved in the art world, printed a high-quality book of Rita’s artwork, called My Art, My World. Second Story Press learned about the book and published it, giving it further recognition. It can now be pre-ordered on amazon.ca and will be released in October 2021, throughout Canada. 

It has been incredible to watch Rita’s art evolve. We are so proud of Rita and have loved watching her achieve recognition as an artist.
