Hi! I’m Rena Cotti, and I’m thrilled to be back at Lucky Star Art Camp! I’ve been part of the Lucky Star family since its second year, and I still get just as excited to come back as I did the first time. There’s nothing quite like spending a week surrounded by creative women who are excited to learn, laugh, and make lifelong friendships.
If you’re in one of my classes, expect to learn something new, make fun mistakes, unlock hidden talents, and probably discover an art supply you didn’t know you needed!
I’m a full-time artist, retreat host, instructor, and former high school teacher who loves making creative techniques feel easy, approachable, and fun for artists of every skill level, whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced artist looking for something different.
This year I’m excited to introduce two brand-new classes, Charcoal Botanicals on Linen and Charcoal Figures on Linen, where you’ll discover how expressive and forgiving charcoal can be on a beautiful linen surface. I’m also bringing back the camp favorite Burn & Spit, where we’ll combine a blowtorch with colorful Unicorn SPiT paint to create a one-of-a-kind Lazy Susan. And for digital artists using Procreate (or those wanting to learn), Let’s Get Digi With It returns this year as a Lucky Star Extra.
My classes are relaxed, encouraging, and filled with tips, laughter, and plenty of individual instruction. I want every student to leave with a project they’re proud of, new skills they’ll actually use, and the confidence to keep creating long after camp ends.
I can’t wait to make memories with you at Lucky Star!
