I make mostly work on paper, which includes drawing, watercolour, and (primarily hand-made) graphic art. I also make animated videos, build installations and paint walls. Right now, I’m working on a series of illustrations for a mural, as well as a hand-drawn animated film. 

As a first-generation Polish immigrant living in Australia, I often make work about connection, belonging, alienation and conflict. I love intelligent birds, dramatic flowers and ghost stories.

In 2024 I completed a collaborative project, The Antipodes, with my dad, a retired psychoanalyst and published writer. The project was based on my dad’s poem The Antipodes, about our experiences as new arrivals to Australia. I created watercolours and drawings to accompany the poem, and then combined them in an art book which also featured my dad’s poem in Polish and English. The book and original artwork were shown in an exhibition at the Town Hall Gallery in Hawthorn. You can find more information about the project here.

Before I decided to focus primarily on my art practice, I worked in digital design for almost 2 decades. I made as much art as I could in my spare time, which took the form of 2 post graduate qualifications (visual art and creative media), funded public art installations, commissioned murals, short experimental films which toured international film festivals and self-initiated small-scale public art works in Australia, Europe and Asia. I finally said goodbye to the digital design world in 2017, when I relocated to Poland in order to focus on my art practice and pursue projects dealing with home and belonging. I created the multi faceted project Kim jestes w domu? (Who Are You When You’re At Home?, 2018-2019, Poland), took part in the Krakow Gallery Weekend KRAKERS (Homemaker, 2019), and participated in group exhibitions (Nieobecnosc (Absence), 2018, Poland) and art residencies (Dancing Men, 2019, Indonesia).
