Ms. Adamczyk is quoted as saying: “Early on with my career, I developed a serious passion to express myself though painting. Each time I start a new piece, I feel as though I am starting on a new adventure; I never know where it may take me!”

While favoring landscapes, seascapes and historical landmarks, she also enjoys private commission work. She excels when it comes the objective is to transform people’s mental images into visual reality. Since moving to Vegas she has developed a real passion for the beauty found in the local deserts of Nevada, a subject matter that is very new and different from her previous pieces.

She also enjoys giving private instructions and workshops around the Las Vegas area to the lucky few who have the raw talent that she can transform.

She started her career on the beaches of Southern California with oil Paintings of seascapes and local landscapes.
