Founder | Leisa Clark
Leisa Clark is a multidisciplinary creative, blending her passion for art, design, and digital innovation. Leisa’s artistic journey began in her teens, driven by a deep emotional connection to creativity. Though initially pursuing a career in Nursing and Midwifery, a back injury and mental health challenges led her to rediscover her true passion. In 2015, she transitioned into graphic and web design, launching her business Retrohex in 2017 to help local businesses build an impactful visual brand and online presence.
In 2023 she rediscovered her love of visual arts in acrylic painting inspired by Pop Art and Impressionism. Here she explores themes of joy, introspection, and escape from the fast-paced Western world. With a signature use of bold colours, Leisa’s work is a celebration of resilience, offering a sense of hope, particularly for those navigating mental health challenges like herself.
Dedicated to lifelong learning, Leisa continuously expands her expertise in design, digital marketing, and entrepreneurship, having served as a Digital Business Advisor and co-founder of Eat Digital, a marketing education group. She remains actively involved in the startup and creative communities, championing artists and small business owners alike.
She also run the Toowoomba Artist Community Facebook Group alongside Nury Barros where artists can share their journey online in a supportive community
Whether designing, painting, or fostering artistic connections, Leisa is passionate about creating spaces—both digital and physical—where creativity can thrive.
