Leah Haynes
Director & Art Coach
I'm one of the founders of The Art Club Hub. I'm a wife and Mum to 2 spectacular kids - I love to surround myself with plants, pets, friends, art materials and go lots of adventures.
As a child, I created art as soon as I could hold a crayon - playing school with my cousins - dreaming of growing up to be an art teacher.
I studied Bachelor of Fine Arts and Diploma of Education. Launching multiple creative businesses, for which I manage multiple websites & social media accounts.
I love to experiment with different mediums and have a fondness for mixed media. I specialize in acrylic and oil painting.
I enjoy the process of creating art and inspiring others to do the same.
I love ALL the colours...but I have a soft spot for blue/green. I'm inspired by artists who use a colourful painterly style - like Matisse.
I'm passionate about embracing our differences and unique talents and want to create the club that I would have loved to be part of as a child!
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!!!!
Brooke Stevenson
Art Coach
I’m an art coach who helps creatives build confidence, trust their intuition, and feel at home in their artistic identity.
My approach is shaped by my work as a pre‑service teacher, my experience as a mother, and my background in tourism — all of which have taught me how to guide, support, and spark curiosity in others.
I create a warm, grounded space where artists can grow, explore, and reconnect with the part of themselves that knows how to create with courage and joy.
Inspiration can be found everywhere. My favourite book series - Good Faeries / Bad Faeries grabbed me the moment I saw it — it’s one of those books that doesn’t just show you art, it pulls you into a world of its own - sparking curiosity, and a sense of “something is happening here”. It appeals to me because I have never been interested in faeries as cute decorations. Brians illustration’s treats them as forces, as personalities, as moods of the natural world. And this book is where he lets those personalities run wild.
All Art Club Hub coaches hold a current Working With Children Check.
