She has completed several outdoor sculptures, busts and commemorative plaques. She has held 14 solo exhibitions. She has received awards and prizes for her work.
The artist’s works are mainly in private collections – domestic and foreign – but also in the collections of the BWA in Sandomierz and the Regional Museum in Stalowa Wola.

From the catalog:
“Creativity in the world of color” becomes for her a ‘paradise’ and a goal in life. She works a lot and passionately. She also enters the world of poetry – personal, intuitive, metaphysical. In painting, she has created more than a dozen series. Some of them are: “Where Are You Going,” ‘Birds of Paradise,’ ‘Two Worlds,’ ‘Flowers of Heaven,’ ‘Flowers of Earth,’ ‘DNA – the code of life,’ and the very important series ”Twenty-one Gates to the Spiritual World.” In her work, two themes-topics, two worlds-the world of matter and the world of spirit-continue to run through her work.
