My work reflects the places I visit and the colors, and shapes I find along the way. With my work, I encourage the viewer to explore their own perception to provoke thought and conversation. My work is a tool for self-discovery. Her works are to be found in private collections in Poland, Germany, Canada, Hungary, and the United States.
