Her work is rooted in early painting, the secrets of which she explored during her studies - she received her diploma in Conservation and Restoration of Works of Art in 2012 at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun. Analyzing the works of the masters has grounded her passion for academic realism. She develops her craft in parallel with her work on monuments, and over the past decade has produced both many original works and copies of classics. In painting, she seeks depth of color and chiaroscuro, and in her paintings she likes to juxtapose detail and multilayered parts with those of free-form, expressive painterly gesture.

Human beings are a subject particularly close to her heart, which has also been confirmed for a decade in projects entrusted to her, such as portraits of Honorary Citizens of the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship and a portrait of Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski for the Wloclawek Cathedral.

In January 2022, the "Artus" Gallery in Artus Court in Toruń hosted her first solo exhibition, a summary of about a year of creative work.
