Have you ever had one of those days?

There’s not a cloud in the sky… everything feels bright and happy. The temperature and breeze is on point. Feeling sexy fresh in a light coloured mull pareu with no bra… Your instant coffee is tasting like an Italian expresso. Your curls are curling just right. Your skin is glowing. Feeling good.

I recently had one of those days.. damn it was a good day.

Cook Island based visual artist Remiah, living in Rarotonga she has been honing her skills in painting for the past few years.

'My inspiration stems from my culture, my surroundings and mostly as a Cook Island woman. We hold a certain boldness about ourselves, as mothers, mama's, aunties, sisters, friends. With strength, elegance, playfulness and a touch of secrecy.

Remiah loves creating using a wide range of mediums, but predominantly working with acrylic. “Exploring contemporary art styles all with a Cook Island flair connects me more to culture.'
