I was born in Warsaw, Poland, lived in the midwest and east coast, and spent a significant period of my life in Santa Cruz, CA. I am current studying for a master's in counseling psychology at CIIS in San Francisco.

I have always loved art but did not dream of persuing it professionally. The urgings of friends combined with a lot of free time as a result of a serious injury led to the flourishing of my creative energy.

I am an admirer of craft and design and I strive toward aesthetics over concept in my art. While I took a few art classes at UCSC, I don't have any formal training in the mediums I currently work in. I learned SX-70 manipulation through trial and error after buying an old $3 camera at a garage sale and realizing it took the old SX-70 polaroid film. I bought a Daylab printer to let me make SX-70 prints from slides. It turned out to be great for making polaroid transfers.
