I was born in Poland, in 1975. I spent 18 years in beautiful Gdansk before I emigrated with my family to the United States.

As a little girl I was fascinated with graphics. I used to cut out pictures out of books and magazines, and most of all I loved fairytales.

After graduating the grammar school, I decided to combine my love of drawing with the love of Gdansk's old architectural history.  I chose the Architectural high school. I did not have the chance of finishing the education, because I emigrated.

I had first contact with AutoCAD (software for engineers and architects) in high school.  That helped me with getting a summer job at the architect's office. I continued my architectural education in college, but soon realized that it was not the field for me.

I got the certificate in AutoCAD and in '98 I was offered a position in engineering field as a drafter.  Two years later I got an opportunity to advance into multimedia/graphics designer position.  I learned more about computer hardware and software. I also started taking classes geared towards graphic design.

My world changed on Christmas 2000, when I got my first camera (Olympus 2020) and WACOM tablet. Armed with: ADOBE Photoshop, COREL Painter, and digital camera - I entered into my fantasy world.
I continued to take classes in graphic design to polish my skills and become a professional artist.
