Welcome to Creatifika Art!

Pull up a chair, take a breath, and make yourself at home. Creatifika Art is a relaxed, beachside creative space where beginners are celebrated, perfection is left at the door, and creativity is about connection, joy and giving it a go. Whether you are here to paint, craft, commission a Pet Pawtrait, or follow my adventures in documenting the daily lives of the Studio Hounds (Moshi, Murphy and Marshall) as I teach myself to use watercolours in our Blog “Dog-a-Day”, you are in exactly the right place!

  • When you work with Creatifika Art, your small but mighty creative team includes:

    Me, Peta Nichol - artist / facilitator / paint purchaser / kit creator

    I hold Psychology qualifications from the University of Queensland and over 30 years experience working in the community services sector with children, young people and families. I am largely a self-taught artist and am currently completing a Masters in Therapeutic Arts Practice through MIECAT.

    In addition to me, Creatifika Art could not exist without my trusty team of Studio Hounds / Dog-a-Day creative muses / security team / snack cleanup crew

    • Marshall - Golden Retriever (Social Media Manager)

    • Murphy - Cavoodle (Quality Control Auditor)

    • Moshi - Schmoodle (Office Manager)

    The entire Creatifika Art team looks forward to welcoming you to our Puppy Prison studio space soon!

  • Creatifika Art is all about helping you find your creative joy.

    We offer small group (max 8) painting workshops in our Woodgate Beach studio. We can also come to you and run a workshop for your group of any size in your location.

    Paint at home kits are a fantastic option if you want the convenience of a paint party delivered to your home. “Me Time” kits, “Ride Those Waves” cards and “I’m a Beautiful Work in Progress” cards are perfect little bundles of arty goodness for anyone who is developing creative habits for self-care and wellbeing.

    ‍Pet Pawtrait Commissions make thoughtful gifts for the animal lovers in your life. Pawtraits are available in a range of sizes to suit a variety of spaces.

    Craft-a-noon workshops including ecrylimer eco-resin, hat burning, parasol painting, beaded potheads, and others are offered regularly throughout the year.

    1:1 art wellbeing workshops are coming soon to Creatifika Art. These sessions use creativity to therapeutically explore issues impacting on your emotional and physical wellbeing. Sessions are offered face-to-face or via video-conferencing.

  • We welcome anyone who is creatively curious or keen to reclaim time for themselves! We love beginners, and people who haven’t picked up a paintbrush for a while! (Our current record for “longest time since arting” is 65 years, held by a lady in her 70’s who hadn’t painted since primary school!)

  • The Creatifika Art studio space is located in beautiful Woodgate Beach in Queensland. We are a ‘regular’ at the Woodgate Beach Markets on the first and third Sunday of each month.
