In 2010 she graduated from the Faculty of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture at the Poznan University of Science and Technology. After graduation, she devoted the following years to the design of public spaces and green infrastructure in the private and public sectors. Creative work was always present in her life, so she spent her moments free from designing on self-improvement of painting techniques, creating more paintings in oil technique. The warm reception of her works contributed to her decision to eventually devote herself fully to easel painting.

The main theme of her work is man, most often depicted as an individual. It is a search for color, emotion, light, mood, as well as the place of man in the modern world and beyond. The depiction of the figure in a simple form, as a symbol, is supposed to be the foundation and carrying force of the content of her paintings. The symbol of a woman , or rather the symbol of femininity as seen by the painter, is not only superficiality, but also a kind of artistry, subtlety, allure, magic, harmony between corporeality and the spiritual sphere. It's a world of daydreams, not knowing the logic and laws of the waking world.

The artist has participated in exhibitions in the country (including "Perception of the circle" in Gdansk, Kolobrzeg, Koszalin, Szczecinek, Czeladz, in the exhibition "Woman. Contemporary Artists and Artists in Memory of Anna Bilinski" in the Jacek Malczewski Museum in Radom, "Duality of Gaze" in Gdansk, Czeladz) as well as abroad (Art Capital in the Grand Palais Éphémère in Paris).
