She was born on March 14, 1953 in Częstochowa.
She is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, where she studied at the Department of Sculpture in the studio of Professor Bogdan Chmielewski. She received her diploma in 1980 in the studio of Prof. Stanislaw Slonina, with an annex on medallic sculpture in the studio of Zofia Demkowska.
She deals with bronze sculpture in lost wax technology. She lives and works in Bielsko-Biała.
The artist combines classical sculpture with elements of surrealism. In her work, she is primarily inspired by people and the relationships between them, and the body as an aesthetic form, as well as a carrier of thoughts and feelings. Music and nature are equally important inspirations for her.
The effects of these inspirations the artist includes in sculpture series: "Angels," "Portraits," "Dresses," and "Birds."
