Oh thank goodness!!!! Straight lines are the worst! It’s lucky there’s no straight lines in art ;)
Please don’t let your fear of straight lines stop you from splashing paint around!
Oh, and apparently, for people who really want to learn to draw straight lines, there’s this funky new tool called a ‘ruler’??? Whodathunkit??? :)

Pet Pawtraits are my favourite! Contact me to talk about your pet - I want to understand a bit about them. Send me a couple of photos that clearly show their face and other important features or items you want included in the painting. Pet Pawtraits require a minimum of six (6) weeks and 50% payment in advance to secure commission.

Our events are 18yrs+ unless otherwise specified.
Previous participants have advised that the opportunity to engage a babysitter and use the couple of hours they attend to relax, regenerate, and take some time out for themselves has been delightful. Following their advice, no children are permitted to attend these workshops. (nope, not even if they’re the most well-behaved kids ever)!
However, kids are very welcome at:
Caregiver + Kids workshops are able to be arranged. These workshops are great for a couple of caregivers and their kids. Kids are paying customers in Caregiver + Kids workshops. Each child must be accompanied by a caregiver over the age of 16 yrs.
Kids Only workshops can also be arranged (e.g. birthday parties or regular art coaching sessions).

That’s honestly a fair point.
However, it is much easier for me to know that I’ve understood your needs if we have a quick chat / text convo. This is especially true for commissions and organising private paint parties where there are lots of details that we need to be on the same page about.

Creatifika Art is about celebrating the joyfulness of creative expression. I want to create opportunities where you can enjoy getting into the ‘flow’ without worrying about when the last time you held a paintbrush was!
Every workshop is beginner-friendly, pressure-free, and focused on connection, creativity and joy. Creatifika Art workshops give you both the physical space and emotional space to relax and give new things a go.
We have a laugh, sing along to an awesome playlist, encourage each other, celebrate the “ugly” stage of the painting (every painting has one!) and get to know some new people. It’s this down to earth, genuine and playful approach that has people coming back time after time.
Our “Fur You” Pet Pawtraits are created with heart, not mass produced or ‘filtered’. I take the time to make sure you are happy I have captured your pet’s personality. Each piece is hand painted, one of a kind, and made to celebrate the deep bond between you and your furry family member.

Easy, relaxed and supportive.
Connection and creativity are my primary motivations.
I’ve experienced trauma and grief, and know first-hand how art can nurture and support the parts of us that have been hurt. Creating a calm, judgement-free space where you can reclaim a couple of hours from the stress and busy-ness of life is nourishing for both of us!
