About the Creator
Artistry Education Hub was founded by Alaric Westcombe, a practicing artist and educator with over 15 years of experience teaching across Europe and New Zealand. After years of guiding students in studios and classrooms, Alaric noticed a gap: many talented individuals lacked access to structured, supportive, and affordable art education. With a deep love for the creative process and a belief in lifelong learning, he created this hub to bring professional-level instruction to anyone with a passion for art—no matter their location or background.
Why This Website Exists
This platform was born from a simple idea: art shouldn’t be reserved for the privileged or the professionally trained. It should be available, approachable, and joyful for everyone. Whether you’re a stay-at-home parent rediscovering creativity, a retiree exploring a new hobby, or a working artist seeking to refine your craft, Artistry Education Hub is here to support you—not with perfection, but with progress.
Our Values and Approach
We believe in learning through doing. Our courses emphasize practice over theory, encouragement over criticism, and community over competition. Every lesson is designed with clarity and care, using real-world examples and step-by-step guidance. We don’t teach trends—we teach timeless principles. And we never stop learning ourselves. Our instructors regularly update content based on student feedback and evolving artistic practices.
