Artist • Owner of Rena Cotti Creative Events • Art Traveler
Rena Cotti is an artist, retreat host, and joyful maker of all things creative. A former high school teacher turned full-time creative, she now spends her days immersed in art—painting in acrylics, oils, and soft pastels, crafting digital art on her iPad, and occasionally firing up her blow torch to design custom tables.
As the founder of Rena Cotti Creative Events, she curates art retreats, workshops, and classes that nourish the soul through creativity, connection, and a healthy dose of laughter. Her passion lies in creating warm, welcoming spaces where women can relax, explore, and try something new—no perfection required.
In addition to teaching, Rena is always learning—whether it’s attending in-person workshops or diving into online classes to explore new techniques and creative tools. She’s also an avid art traveler—this year’s adventure took her to Scotland for a dreamy soft pastel retreat.
When she’s not creating or planning her next retreat, you’ll likely find her reading or crocheting with her two spoiled dachshunds curled up nearby. She runs on coffee, Coke Zero, margaritas, and red wine—and firmly believes queso and guacamole should be considered a food group.
At Lucky Star, Rena is in her element: surrounded by kindred spirits, wild creativity, and the kind of inspiration that lingers long after camp ends.
