She studied in the studio of Ives Marien and Philippe Desomberg at the Academy of Fine Arts in Braine L'Alleud, Belgium. Her exhibition debut took place in 2009, and since then the artist has exhibited her works in numerous exhibitions. In 2011, at the Salon International des Artistes Contemporains, the city government of Saint Tropez, France, awarded her first place in the sculpture category for her lifetime achievement.She is a member of the Low Countries Sculpture Society in Belgium and the Société National des Artistes Animaliers in France.
In her work, she works with a variety of subjects. She draws inspiration from her own memories and emotions, as well as from the shapes and nature of the world around her at any given time. The sculptor travels a lot: she has lived in various countries in Europe and Asia, as well as in the United States.
One of the artist's main inspirations is music. She is fascinated not only by sound, but also by the fluid shapes and forms of instruments, of which she lists the violin as her favorite. The artist's grandfather Szczepan Panufnik was a violin maker, and it is from her grandfather that she inherited her love for the perfect finish that characterizes her sculptural works.
