Leah Haynes
Director & Art Coach
I'm one of the founders of The Art Club Hub.
I studied Bachelor of Fine Arts and Diploma of Education.
I specialize in acrylic and oil painting and have been creating artwork since I could hold a pencil. I am the founder of multiple creative businesses, for which I manage multiple websites & social media accounts.
I'm passionate about creating art and inspiring others to do the same. I love exploring new creative outlets & techniques and just having a go at new things.
My favourite colours are ALL the colours...but I have a soft spot for green.
I want to create the club that I would have loved to be part of as a child!
I'm excited to create Art with you!
Erin Robinson
Director & Art Coach
Hello friends! I'm Erin, one of the founders of The Art Club Hub.
I'm a full-time artist specialising in watercolour art and a qualified teacher with a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Teaching. I also have my own business called Artbrush. Artbrush is my creative outlet where I get to explore my love of all things art and combine it with my love of animals and botanicals, creating beautiful fun prints, cards and giftware. I also have years of graphic design experience working with businesses to develop their brand identities through custom illustrations and designs.
I am passionate about teaching and inspiring others to create art for the sheer joy of it! I love making happy art, and I can't wait to help you have fun creating works that you can be proud of.
Let's go play in the art room!
Holly Would
Art Coach
I’m Holly Would, an Art coach at The Art Club Hub and one of the co-founders of TBH studio, where we embrace creativity and support creatives in all stages of their careers. I am a multidisciplinary artist, but oil painting would have to be my favourite medium. I frequently include my favourite person on this planet in my paintings, my son.
It is my belief that we are all born creative, we just need some help discovering it again. I am deeply passionate about mental health and I know the healing properties of art are a great tool to access in the treatment of mental health.
My favourite colour is red, it’s the colour of passion and often finds its way into my passion for art.
Working with people is a tremendous gift.
I never tire of seeing connections being made through the creative process, and how creativity breeds more creativity. Art is for everyone!!!!
Chris Haynes
Art Coach
Meet Chris – one of our passionate Junior Art Coaches! Chris is an adventurer at heart, with a love for the outdoors, hiking, and exploring nature (often with his two kids in tow on exciting adventures). If he is not out in the great outdoors he is at home gardening or tending to his tropical fish tanks.
A fan of fantasy worlds, Chris enjoys reading, photography and appreciates digital art with a flair for realism.
Growing up, anime sparked his imagination, he is a kid at heart and can still be found trying to catch pokemon.
Music continues to inspire him daily, and he has an increasing cd and record collection.
Whether he’s capturing the beauty of a forest trail or diving into a magical book, Chris brings a creative spirit and a sense of adventure into every art session.
All Art Club Hub coaches hold a current Working With Children Check.
