“My most important feature is authenticity. I am looking for solutions that would not allow a reader to be indifferent. My aim is to stimulate emotions. I do not care if they are positive or negative feelings – it is important they credibly merge with the theme.”

She gets her artistic inspiration from people, from observations on their behaviour in various situations. She captures moment which move her, she preserves them sketching or taking pictures. Thus she can return to them using in everyday work. She was graduated from Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw where she won two diplomas – from illustration under tutelage of Prof. Zygmunt Januszewski and Ph.D. Grażka Lange and also from book design under tutelage of Prof. Maciej Buszewicz. She has a great palette of artistic interests – from illustration, posted and book design through textile design to editorial graphics and painting.

She worked with Polish periodicals such as “Kukbuk”, “Tygodnik Powszechny”, “Świerszczyk” and “Biblioteka w Szkole”. She also published abroad in “T■pot Journal”, “Popcorn Magazine”, “Taite Magazine” and “Cuentos para el anden”. She presented her works in collective exhibitions home and abroad
