Liza Adamczewski trained at Camberwell and The Royal College of Art.
She is a contemporary fine artist living on a re-wilding farm in Pembrokeshire.

Adamczewski's gold icon paintings of local wildlife are rooted in a deep reverence
for the small, often unnoticed lives that move quietly beside us.
These devotional style triptychs and panels borrow the language of sacred art, gilded surfaces, architectural frames and altarpieces to honour the presence of the creatures they portray. By placing these creatures within formats traditionally reserved for icons, she invites the viewer to encounter them with the same sense of stillness, attention and humility that one might bring to contemplation or prayer. The gold leaf becomes more than adornment but a field in which the subject is suspended in a moment of grace.
Through scale, surface, and subject, she explores themes of sanctuary, fragility, and the quiet miracle of coexistence. They offer the viewer a moment to pause, a reminder that the sacred is not distant or grand but present in the lichen on a twig or the softness of a feather.


One of Adamczewski's current works, Titled #1000postcards, is inspired by the environment of her 60 acres of wild flower hay meadows, ancient woodlands and the treasured biodiversity that these environments provide.
Her work focuses on the environmental dilemmas of the Anthropocene.

Producing a 'postcard' or Tweet daily on X, Bluesky and Instagram, Adamczewski has described herself as an "accidental ecologist" sending out messages from nature.  
A selection of  #1000postcards was exhibited at Oriel Y Parc in St Davids in
2020 - 2021.

 her paintings
