About me:

I was born in Szczecin, Poland at a time when being an artist was unnecessary visions and every manifestation of freedom and creativity deviating from accepted trends was suppressed. There have been many attempts to cut my wings and go down to mundane tasks, implying that I should not aspire to earn from my own work. The need to express myself through my own work soldered in me so strongly that I finished two-year photography studies in Poland and worked for 9 years in a reputable photo salon to polish my craft in that way. In 1999 I started a family and

in 2006 I moved to London with my husband and two children. I shared the fate of thousands of Poles trying to support themselves and their family by working hard. I worked humbly as a cleaner, still thinking that my language was not enough to think about something else. However, I did not give up my passion for reflecting beauty and I photographed every free moment. In 2013 I parted with my husband and became a single mother. This made it difficult for me to think about myself as an artist who can realize myself through art even more. I devoted this time to therapy, self-discovery, meditation, and body work. It was then that I discovered painting as another form of expression. For a few years I sank deep enough that the world of ambition and aspiration became inaccessible to me and frightened me. I also began to explore movement and my own body as a means of expression. I loved it, I call it Authentic Movement. And with these three forms I go out into the world today

- as a photographer

- intuitive painting

- Authentic Movement

Support me if you can.
