Biography
The artist studied at the State Higher School of Fine Arts in Kraków and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw from 1945 to 1950. She received her diploma in 1952 from the textile studio at the Faculty of Interior Architecture, under the supervision of Prof. Eleonora Plutyńska.
From 1952 to 1957, she worked at the Institute of Industrial Design in Warsaw, developing her interest in architectural space. She created over fifty monumental textiles for public buildings—theaters, concert halls, banks, and hotels—and also designed patterns for small-batch production. She conducted research and helped popularize knowledge about textiles through articles in specialized journals. She participated in prestigious shows and exhibitions, including the International Textile Biennial in Lausanne, the International Textile Triennial in Łódź, the São Paulo Biennial, the Frankfurt Quadriennale, the Milan Triennial of Applied Arts, and New York’s MoMA.
