She creates body painting using natural henna. She is one of the few people in Poland involved in the art of mehendi, creating drawings on human skin with vegetable dyes. Her paintings combine a fascination with nature and folklore of her native land - Podlasie - with inspirations drawn from the culture and art of the Orient. On canvas, she combines traditional painting with techniques drawn from the art of mehendi. Her works have been presented in 10 solo exhibitions and 14 group exhibitions. In 2018, she collaborated with the Jacek Malczewski National Museum in Radom, where she presented a demonstration of henna painting. The event was part of the Night of Museums.
