She studied painting at the State Higher School of Fine Arts in Wroclaw from 1946 to 1951. In the second half of the 1950s she decided to move away from figurative painting to geometric abstraction. Her conceptual paintings, drawings and spatial forms are built on mathematical constructions. A participant in the 1st Biennial of Spatial Forms in Elblag in 1965, she was associated with the Pod Mona Liza Gallery in Wroclaw. Since the late 1960s, she co-founded the international mail art movement. She collaborated with Jan Chwałczyk as part of his Creative Information Gallery. She co-organized mail art exhibitions and exhibitions dedicated to Henryk Stażewski. The presented work "Hommage à Henryk Stażewski", is a drawing composition, minimalist in form, referring to the reliefs of the master of the avant-garde.
