HEY! I’M ‘NAT PERKS’.
I’m Nat Perks, and I’m on a mission to bust the myth that creativity is only for “artists” (hint: it’s not).
With a Fine Arts degree in my back pocket and a fascination with psychology, I love uncovering what makes us tick—and why so many of us convince ourselves we’re “not creative.” Spoiler alert: it’s just our brains playing tricks!
I create safe, joyful spaces where making art feels like catching up with an old friend—full of laughter, colour, and zero judgment. Ready to surprise yourself? Let’s dive in and make some magic together!
WHEN WORDS ARE NOT ENOUGH, MAKE ART

WHEN WORDS ARE NOT ENOUGH, MAKE ART ✶
Welcome! I’m so glad your are here.
I’m Nat Perks, and I run fun, feel-good painting and craft workshops for kids, adults, and teams across Queenstown, Wanaka, and Auckland. My brand is loud, friendly, and encouraging—never too serious, always super fun. I believe making is therapy, and I’m here to gently nudge people out of their comfort zones and into their creativity.
