Graduated from PLSP in Koszalin, studies at the Poznan School of Applied Arts. She works in portrait photography, street photography and painting. The choice of the egg tempera technique is a conscious formal procedure, according to the artist, the laborious and painstaking construction of the painting, thousands of tiny brushstrokes with a diameter of a millimeter force humility and give time for inner reflection. Winner of an award in the Golden Shell photo contest, she is currently focused exclusively on painting - her works are in numerous private collections in Poland and Europe (Spain, Portugal, United Kingdom). In May 2014, she participated in the 20/21 International art fair in London. Her painting, with a recognizable style, is a modern combination of Renaissance painting technique with contemporary symbolism and expressive language.
