Graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice (she received her diploma in the studio of Prof. Andrzej Tobis in 2017). Winner of the Grand Prix of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage at the 42nd Painting Biennale "Bielska Jesień 2015" in Bielsko-Biała. In 2017 she was the winner of the "Talents of the Three", and in 2018 she was nominated for the "Passports of Polityka" in the category of Visual Arts. In her art, she takes up the subject of interpersonal relations (most often referring to her own unpleasant experiences), as well as animals and their suffering caused by human existence. Her paintings are characterized by aggressive form and incredible expression, which make it difficult to remain indifferent to her works.
