In 1997, she opened the Author's Gallery "Retro" in the Main Square in Krakow and established the Art Group "Retro" - bringing together artists to disseminate in the country and the world the unique character of the city of Krakow, create paintings, illustrations, logos and decorative designs closely related to the history and tradition of Krakow.

1997r. Obtained a certificate from the National Artistic Commission of the "Cepelia" Foundation.

Her attention and passion was also attracted to cinematography. She gained knowledge at the Faculty of Film Studies at the Jagiellonian University. She participated in numerous initiatives of the Film Discussion Club "Rotunda" .

In 1997 she co-created a short film entitled "1997" which qualified for the National Amateur Film Review in Warsaw. Encouraged by the good reception of the film, in 2001 she went to Lodz where she participated in numerous projects of the Film School.

Between 1997 and 2004 - she created three series of works related to the theme of Krakow.

1 . "Retrospectives"- pen and ink drawings inspired by 19th century engravings, depicting Cracow from the period 1900-1936. These works were exhibited at the Plock Scientific Society in 1999.

2. "My City" - watercolors the subject of which is a brief unique moment of light falling on a fragment of the architecture of the city of Cracow.

3. "Skeching" - free, spontaneous watercolor sketches noting scenes from the life of the city of Cracow.

In 2004, the artist began to travel to Italy . She became fascinated by the cultural resources of Tuscany. She became associated with the art community there. In direct contact with the works of many masters and among galleries such as "Uffizzi and "Pitti Palace" she developed her sensitivity , knowledge and skills. At that time she created watercolor landscapes of Tuscany and historical architecture of Florence, Sjena, San Gimignano or Pisa. These paintings were sold partly in Italy and partly at the Author's Gallery in Cracow.

In 2010, the artist decided to temporarily close the gallery in Krakow and move to Norway. She settled in the small town of Auklandshamn near Haugesund. Preoccupied with the life of her growing family, she slowed down the pace of creating paintings. The Scandinavian light , the contours of the sun's rays and the colors they exposed fascinated the artist. The slowed down life in the countryside among the fjords opened the artist to the inner sensations of man . It was here that the first figurative paintings were created - of anonymous female figures depicting a state of emotion such as " Fury ", " Loneliness ", " Concern " or " Expectation " .

In 2017. She returned to Krakow. She exhibits and sells her paintings at the "Old Town" Gallery.

In 2021. Culture Club " Mirage" held an exhibition of her watercolor paintings under the title " AQUA-re-LOVE". - return to Cracow .
