Painter, illustrator, founder of Saltaire Art School, and quiet admirer of life’s everyday poetry. Originally from Sopot, a bohemian seaside town on the Polish coast, She completed an MA at The Academy of Fine Arts in nearby Gdańsk.
„My work is inspired by the traditional themes of Polish folk and a feminine aesthetic, shaped by a longing to create beauty in the everyday.
Now (and forever) based in the historic village of Saltaire, in the North of England, right at the edge of the river, I’m slowly discovering the meaning of life while immersed in the gentle, wondrous rhythm of the changing seasons.
For the past 15 years, I’ve illustrated for clients across the globe — from heritage fashion houses like Louis Vuitton and Dior to publishers such as Penguin Random House or Hachette, as well as Harrods and Davidoff.
Alongside my illustration work, I’ve returned to my first love: painting. Having exhibited in London and New York, and with an upcoming solo exhibition in Saltaire, I feel I’m finally living the purposeful creative life I was always meant to live.
Whether I’m working with a brand, a publisher, or on the canvas, my approach remains the same: thoughtful, considered, and led by a deep sense of passion and beauty.”
