She started to attend Down Syndrome Albania Foundation’s “Achievement and Development Center” in Spring 2015. During the painting classrooms at Down Syndrome Albania Foundation, Irma’s painting talent was noticed by her professor and they started working on this.

During one year, Irma conducted 17 paintings, travelling every Saturday from Bulqiza to Tirana. Eight of her paintings were exhibited at the Albania President’s Ball in 2015, where she was invited as a special guest.

Irma opened her first exhibition named “21.3/47” on March 16,2016 in Bulqizë. And on March 21, 2016 this exhibition was opened in the capital of Albania, in Tirana.

Irma is proving that with a good will and the right support, regardless the differences between us, everything is possible. She is now a role model to many parents and to many individuals with Down Syndrome in Albania.
