about me

I graduated with a master’s degree in 1982 from the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków- Faculty of Graphic Design in Katowice  and Postrgraduate Studies in the Department of Art Education at the University of Łódź in 2003. I am a member of the Association of Polish Artists, “Wallauer Fachwerk Kulturkreis e.V.” Germany – and the Artists’ Association “Form Bild Farbe” in Niedernhausen from 2018 – 2022, I was the official emissary of International Urban Open- air Art in Wieluń. in 2013 – 2015.

I use various means of artistic expression such as oil, pastel, watercolor, mixed media as well as photography. Inspired by the beauty of nature and the world around me, I capture it in my paintings, which are created after my travels as well as from observations of my immediate surroundings and at the same time show and seek diversity. I have organized and participated in many solo and group exhibitions. My works can also be found in private collections at home and abroad. My paintings have been displayed at numerous individual and group art exhibitions, and can be found in private collections in Poland and abroad. My biographical sketches are included in “Złote Myśli Ludzi Wielkiego Umysłu , Talentu i Serca – Twórcy Wizerunku Polski” R.Hübner’s Encyclopaedia of famous Poles- “Who’s Who in Poland” and “Who‘s Who of European Women”.
