Reina’s studio in Tairua was a lovely place to visit during the Mercury Bay Art Escape as she has vibrant, colourful artworks, cards, calendars and gifts.  Her work is a slight blend of culture with what I would call Coromandel art colours – bright blues, reds and greens.  Her work is a breath of fresh air and a wonderful place to pick up gifts if not for yourself.  Visit www.reinacottier.com  to check it out.
