I was born in Tarnow, Poland on December 4th, 1966. I received elementary and high school educations in Pulawy during 1975-1985. In addition, I also received a Music Diploma from Elementary Music School in Pulawy where I studied violin from 1974-1980. In 1988, when I completed two years of Art History at the Catholic University of Lublin, I decided to leave Poland in order to "walk around" towards the "Promised Land". During 1988-1990 I stayed in Rome, Italy where I was working and studying Italian language and culture at the International School of Dante Alighieri. In February of 1990 I came to Canada. In September of 1990 I was enrolled in Italian Literature Program, Art History and later on, Visual Arts. I successfully completed my undergraduate degrees in 1996 receiving Magna Cum Laude Diplomas and the Embassy of Switzerland Prize for the highest standing in Italian. In 1996 I was admitted to the Master of Fine Arts program at York University where I specialized in interdisciplinary visual and theoretical investigations of the phenomenon of speech and politics of walking. I graduated from York University in 1998. My MFA Theses Exhibition at Glendon Gallery was complemented by performance with Orthoepic and Peripatetic Exercises. In 1998 I started my interdisciplinary doctoral studies at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. In September of 1999, however, I transferred to the Special Individual Doctoral Program offered by Concordia University in Montreal.
The winter of 1999-2000 saw the completion of a solo exhibition starting with Grounded (I) in Montreal, Canada in November through December 1999; followed by Grounded (II) in Warsaw, Poland from January through February 2000.
