Combining images of dystopic environments and unlikely human-built structures, Lisa Adams[3] is best known for her oil paintings of imaginary worlds that address both personal and collective realities.

Though her work is not directly about issues resulting from climate change or ecological disaster, her paintings reference a significant shift in our thinking and our planet.

She also recalls being fascinated by the Charles and Ray Eames short film Powers of Ten and by a Karl Benjamin non-objective painting when she was thirteen years old.

In addition to her studio practice Adams has worked on public art projects which have included the West Valley Branch Library in Reseda, California, the Fire Station No.

As an artist-in-residence, Adams has lived and worked in Slovenia, Finland, Japan, the Netherlands and Costa Rica and has traveled extensively throughout Europe and Asia.

In the 1990s Adams was commission by BMW of North America to paint an ArtCar[11] and has been included in A Day in the Life of the American Woman: How We See Ourselves,[12] Bullfinch Press, 2005.
