She graduated from PLSP in Koszalin and studied at the Poznan School of Applied Arts. She works in portrait and street photography and painting. The choice of the egg tempera technique is a conscious formal procedure, according to the artist, the laborious and painstaking construction of the painting, thousands of tiny brushstrokes with a diameter of a millimeter force humility and give time for inner reflection. Winner of an award in the Golden Shell photography competition, she is currently focused exclusively on painting - her works are in numerous private collections in Poland and Europe (Spain, Portugal, United Kingdom). Her painting, with a recognizable style, is a modern combination of Renaissance painting technique with contemporary symbolism and language of expression. She is interested exclusively in female portraiture. The artist generally depicts women at a crucial moment of transformation, when they have made a choice or are about to do so. It is a magical moment, a moment when the paradigm shifts, when the past ceases to matter. In May 2014, she participated in the 20/21 International art fair in London.
