In 2017, having completed interdepartmental individual doctoral studies at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław, she received a doctoral degree in fine arts. In 2013 she completed her Master studies at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław, Faculty of Graphics and Media Art, field of studies: printmaking, and in 2011 she completed her Bachelor studies at the University of Wrocław, Faculty of Historical and Pedagogical Sciences, field of studies: cultural studies.

In my creative work, I use a variety of imaging techniques, mainly those related to printmaking, focusing especially on conceptual aspects. I explore the limits of the graphic matrix and the print, the possibilities of their transformation and positioning on unconventional substrates. I combine classical printmaking with modern creative measures such as installation, performance and body art. At exhibitions, I present ephemeral prints accompanied by the matrices from which they have been created.
