She holds an MFA in Painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk, Poland. In 2005, during her studies, she worked as a painting assistant to artist Kehinde Wiley in New York.
Her work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions across the UK, Poland, and Hungary. Recent exhibitions include her solo exhibition Junctures at Rogue Artists’ Studios, Manchester (2025), and Immemorial at Hypha Studios, London (2026). Previous solo exhibitions include Wa(y)st(o)ed Freedom at Centrala, Birmingham (2021), and Polonia_2020, an online project funded through the Culture on the Net programme of the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.
She has also exhibited at the New Experimental Film Festival at Apiary Studios, London (2016), co-organised Point of Meeting East at Latarka Gallery, Budapest (2014), and participated in the IX Biennale of Drawing and Printmaking in Győr, Hungary (2007).
Her work has been discussed in Czas Kultury by writer and academic Izabela Morska, and in ARGUMENT: Biannual Philosophical Journal by Urszula Ula Chowaniec and Anna Frątczak. These publications examine her work in relation to Polish national identity, patriotism, feminism, and the reinterpretation of historical imagery.
