Born in Niedomice, she studied composition and theory of music with Bogusław Schaeffer at the State Higher School of Music in Cracow. She graduated with distinction in 1972. Her pieces have won awards at the Grzegorz Fitelberg Composer's Competition (Transformations) and the Youth Competition of the Polish Composers' Union (Il piť et il meno). She was a member of the Artistic Society Cracow Group'.
Her pieces have been performed at the iscm World Music Days in Stockholm (1978). In 1977 in the Krzysztofory' Gallery in Cracow organized a concert devoted exclusively to her music, combined with an exhibition of her scores.
She has a particular affinity with the sonoristic structures derived from the instrumental material transformed electronically or in a live performance.

The composition Altitude 1 was realised at the Computer Music Studio of the Academy of Music in Cracow (2001). I want to thank Magdalena Długosz for her help in realising this piece.
