Locally designed by Remiah Chanelle, encompassing the elements of our island.
Remiah is Aotearoa born, Irish, Aitutakian Cook Islander, now residing in Rarotonga. My creative performance with painting on multiple mediums projects a distinctive style - reminiscent of my reconnection to the Cook Islands.

My feminine approach to creating art is inspired by pop-culture, street art and everything in between. Finding the relationship between modern and traditional practices fundamental element in my work.

The treatment and process of my work adds value to my story telling, by respecting my Cook Islands heritage and Pacific Island living. My purpose is to set the foundation to contribute to the longevity to the future of Cook Islands art.
