Karolina was born in Krakow, Poland, she moved to Los Angeles in 2009, where she currently lives. She began drawing at an early age due to her father's influence and natural artistic ability. Mostly self taught, Karolina attended few art workshops as a teenager. After high school, while still in Poland, she earned a certificate in Makeup Artistry and Body Painting. In Los Angeles, she graduated from Animation Mentor with a degree in character animation/CGI. In 2019 she decided to return to her first love: pencil and paper.

“I combine graphite and charcoal pencils with their powder forms. Blending it with my hands, brushes, q-tips. I often use oil colored pencil, paint or even a fabric for the color pop or mixed media effect. Seeing an image appear as I draw on the paper is a surreal experience.”
