. During those years she also frequented open air workshops in the Kazimierz Dolny art colony. She also visited the Krzemieniec art colony, located in the Wolyn region. Her landscapes with views of Kazimierz Dolny, Wiśniów, and Puck dominated her output and became popular, with some translated to woodcuts. Her work was exhibited in Warsaw in 1938 at the Instytut Propagandy Sztuki (Art Promotion Institute). Some of her work has survived and is in demand partly for its rarity and partly for its charm. However, the great majority of her work was destroyed during World War II as was the case for many artists.
