Irena was born in Poland, where she qualified in Architecture from Construction Engineering School. In the year 2000, she arrived in Australia.

Her immersive artistic works are based on unpredictable personal survival and a long convalescence after illness. An important moment at this time was her decision to start visual arts. She graduated from ANU Bachelor of Visual Art; Sculpture and Painting in Canberra in 2017, she also completed the Institute of Technology Diploma of Visual Art and Technology Certificate IV of Visual Art in 2014.

She participated in a range of exhibitions in Canberra Art Workshop, Artists Society of Canberra, Queanbeyan Art Society, and PolArt in Brisbane and Sydney.
