Born in Warsaw. Graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. Diploma in poster design in the studio of Prof. Mieczyslaw Wasilewski. Already during her studies she became interested in animal rights, to which she dedicated her diploma thesis. Active volunteer of the International Movement for Animals "Viva!" Foundation. Professionally, she has been associated with creative agencies for many years as a graphic designer and art director. In her painting, she devotes a lot of attention to formal explorations in the field of abstraction. She is inspired by nature, space and phenomena that may not always be an obvious painting motif. She experiments with texture, sometimes even giving it the form of relief. Recently there has been a turn to representational painting in her work.
