In 2015 Barbara began studing painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Crakow in the studio of Adam Wsiołkowski, at the same time starting studing comparative literature at the Jagiellonian University. In 2016 she has completed postgraduate studies of semiology at UPJP II in Cracow.
Septemebr 2017 she has spent in Italy participaitng in workshops with figurative painters - Jered Wozkicky, Michelle Dunaway, Tina Garett and Teresa Oaxaca.
