I have been dedicated to photography for some twenty five years.

My photographic work has four objectives: to engage, to educate, to empower and to inspire.  Using the power of the photographic lens my role is to be a catalyst for change and to foster a dialogue regarding issues  facing us a society.

I am also an intercultural connector.  Having lived in the East (26 years in Poland) and the West (20 years in Norway and Canada) I have developed a good understanding of issues facing both worlds. I speak seven languages.

As a photographer, I have been trying to capture life as it happens with emphasis on emotional impact of an image.  I have participated in more than twenty individual and group shows in Canada and abroad.  In 2005, I was awarded a Grand Prix at The Guadalajara Biennale for Women Photographers.  I have been using traditional photo-techniques, mostly in black and white, enhanced by infrared technique.

My photography has a human focus aiming at documenting the challenges of the present, reflecting on the past and bringing hope for the future.
