About Leisa Clark
Toowoomba Artist
Pop-Impressionist
A back injury, subsequent surgeries, and a battle with depression forced me to confront the fact that I was living a life shaped by others. Choosing to step away from Midwifery in my early 30’s marked my return to the creative path I had abandoned long ago.
In 2015, I embarked on a new journey delving into graphic design and web design, starting my own design business in 2017. In 2022, I rekindled my artistic passion, finding my path back to my roots as an artist, actively participating in multiple painting workshops and artist groups.
I love to capture scenes and objects that provide relief from our overwhelming Western World and make us reflect on our self, our beliefs and our understanding of this world. I tend to gravitate toward bright colours to hopefully bring joy into peoples lives.
My Style
Pop-Impressionism
It is a term I have created and claim as my own because it bridges the two great loves of my creative life: the vibrant, unapologetic colour of Pop Art and the soulful, suggestive movement of Impressionism, where feeling always outpaces detail.
When people see my work for the first time, one of the most common things they say is: “It’s so blurry and so colourful?” Sometimes they say it with a look of curiosity, and sometimes with a touch of surprise. But for me, that blur and that colour is entirely intentional. In fact, my goal is to push my work even further, to get more blurry, to get more colourful, more emotive, and more focused on the “impression” than the “illustration.”
“A Life without dreaming & creating,
is A life without living”
