Then she studied at the Faculty of Painting of the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków, obtaining her diploma in 2009, in the studio of Professor Stanisław Rodziński. Since 2011, she has been employed by her Alma Mater as an Assistant in the studio of dr habil. Janusz Matuszewski, Professor of the Academy of Fine Arts. Since 2024, she has been working at the Academy as its Professor, heading the studio of Painting and Drawing for year I students in the Department of Painting of the Faculty of Painting. Her works have been periodically shown in solo and group exhibitions in Poland and internationally.  She works in classic painting techniques – using oil, egg tempera – and is also interested in book illustrating and collage. She keeps a regular sketchbook. The main genre of her art is still life, but also paints landscapes and portraits. The style she feels closest to is realism, often contrasted with flat, synthetic geometric forms.
