She earned her diploma in the painting studio of Prof. Maciej Swieszewski with an annex in linocut led by Prof. Czeslaw Tumielewicz. The main areas of her work are painting and artistic printmaking. In her works, she likes to draw on pop-culture patterns, referring to films, advertisements, press photos, as well as comic books, with their inherent way of framing. The means of expression used by the artist refers to the collage technique. The female figure occupies an important place in the artist's works. They are shown on the border between dream and java, innocent and unpredictable, in colorful, decorative and conventionally presented interiors, vulnerable and yet unpredictable. She has received multiple grants from cultural, scientific and local government institutions, including the Minister of Culture and National Heritage, and has won prestigious awards.
