Graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź, Faculty of Graphic Arts and Painting. Graduated with a diploma in printmaking from Prof. A. Bartczak's Woodcut Studio in 2002, where she completed a project of author's books, and in painting from Prof. Marek Czajkowski's studio. The artist is developing cycles titled "Waterland" and "Perfect Moment Before Noon," which are dominated by modern processed aquatic motifs - depictions of boundless waters reaching to the horizon and humans. He attaches special importance to the element of water, which symbolizes life, purification and rebirth, but at the same time instability, constant changeability and transformation. He easily brings out the form of things proficiently using precision in painting technique.
