About Phuza & Paint

Since 2023, Phuza & Paint has been waging a glorious, colourful war on corporate boredom. We're a Johannesburg-based crew on a covert mission: to inject genuine, unadulterated entertainment into the world of business. Forget awkward icebreakers, lengthy key-note speakers, and those presentations that could double as lullabies; we unleash the wild, unifying power of art. And don't worry about artistic talent – we've seen top-tier CEOs create art that would make their primary school teachers proud (or at least less concerned!).

Welcome to our world!

Our team isn't just about slapping paint on canvas; oh no. We conjure an atmosphere where stress melts faster than an ice cube in the Karoo sun, creativity flows like a fine South African wine, and your team connects on a whole new level. Consider us your secret weapon for turning "another Monday" into "the most fun we have ever had at a corporate function!" (and actually means it).

OUR MISSION

Sparking Courage, Building Teams

Our mission at Phuza & Paint is simple: to cultivate creative courage and provide a judgement-free space where your team can truly connect. Through hands-on artistic expression, we enable your people to create, communicate better than a perfectly coordinated Springbok lineout, and come together in true Ubuntu spirit. We're on a mission to prove that team building doesn't have to be a chore, it can be a memorable experience.

OUR VISION

Cultivating Creative Spirit

We envision a future where every client we connect with feels inspired and empowered to embrace their creative side, unlocking potential they never even knew they had! We dream of a corporate landscape where breakthroughs aren't just brainstormed in boardrooms, because the best ideas always come when minds are open and spirits are high!

Meet The Mastermind

Kat Johnstone - Founder and Managing Director Of Phuza and Paint

Hey there, I’m Kat, a 24-year-old art enthusiast, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to my brainchild: Phuza and Paint!

For me, art isn’t just a hobby; it’s been my ultimate happy place through life’s wildest storms. And the healing I found through creating? It’s a gift I’m so ready to share.

Phuza and Paint is more than just a business; it’s a labour of love, born from a desire to spread the joy and therapeutic power of art far and wide. I started out as a self-taught artist, so trust me, I get the beauty of finding your own rhythm and embracing what makes your art uniquely you. I dreamt of a space that champions uninhibited self-expression, a vibrant and inclusive haven for artistic exploration where everyone belongs.

My mission isn't just about guiding painting sessions; it’s about building a vibe, a community where we can connect, learn, and grow through shared creative experiences. Whether you're a seasoned pro looking for new tricks or you've never even held a brush, come join me in my colourful world.

Let's uncap your creativity, breathe life into your ideas, and embark on an adventure where art becomes a part of your soul.

With colour and creativity,

Meet My Partner in Paint

Clinton Botha - Artist & Event Assistant

Every superhero needs a sidekick (and sometimes, a whole second superhero), and that’s where Clinton comes in!

Clinton is not only my trusted right-hand human during peak season and big events, he’s also a creative powerhouse and my calm in the chaos. With a background in hospitality, he’s got a knack for guiding guests through their painting journey with patience and just the right splash of flair.

Clinton adds something special to any Phuza and Paint event, whether he’s hyping you up while you paint or making sure everything runs like a dream behind the scenes. I’m so grateful to have him in this colourful adventure with me—he’s the real MVP.

Basically? If I can’t be at your event, you’re in incredibly good hands with Clinton.
