artist called "the painter of the vanishing Polish manor houses", she began her study of painting in Cracow under the guidance of her brother, painter Stanislaw Janowski, and at the courses of A. Baraniecki. Ludwik Boller (a Munich painter, working on Panorama of the Tatra Mountains at the time) also gave her private lessons. In 1896 she went to Munich for further studies and studied with Anton Ažbé and Simon Hollósy. She traveled extensively, still going to Hungary and Italy, where she studied further at the Florence Academy and in Rome. Initially associated with Krakow, she settled in Stary Sącz around 1906, where she ran a private painting school for some time.
