Her fascination with the work of Krzysztof Kieslowski resulted in the creation of her thesis "DODEKALOG". It is a collection of twelve posters for the director's early feature films. In 2008, her work was presented at the Zamek Cultural Center in Poznań during the 12th edition of the OFF CINEMA International Film Festival.

Her paintings have been presented at several solo exhibitions (including in Cracow), most of them are in private collections. She always looks for inspiration in nature, she likes to observe nature. She is a searching artist and believes in the changeability of art .
