After graduating from the School of Applied Arts in Zagreb in 1985, she studied at the Akademie der bildenden Künste in Vienna (in Wolfgang Hollegha's class). After returning to Zagreb, she enrolled in the interdisciplinary study of the Academy of Fine Arts and Art History at the Faculty of Philosophy. She graduated in 1989, then continued her postgraduate education in Kassel at the Hochschule für bildende Kunst (in the class of Dorothee von Windheim). She studied in London, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Rome and Venice. She exhibited at dozens of solo exhibitions. She participated in many art events in the country and abroad, where it is worth highlighting the representation of Croatia at the Biennale of Contemporary Art in Florence in 1997 and at the 24th Alexandria Biennale of Fine Arts in Egypt in 2007.

A slight thematic reduction, temporary monothematicity, did not arise by chance, but was born through the process of searching for a motif, an object in fact, which could carry multiple meanings and at the same time be banal, empty and raw. The chosen motif undoubtedly carries a metaphorical aura and radiates some hidden existential message, but at the same time it is unattractive in terms of motif, too banal symbolically and worn out in terms of value. But just like that, decorated with an additional amount of ephemeral, non-painting, waste material, the real object becomes an unreal painting motif, a phantasm that causes discomfort and that deposits some gloomy symbolic layers.
