Biography
She probably studied at the Warsaw School of Fine Arts. In 1925 she exhibited her works at the Jewish Society for the Promotion of Fine Arts in Warsaw. Around 1921 she went to Paris, where she participated in exhibitions at the Salon des Independents and the Autumn Salon and the Salon des Tuilleries (from 1926 to 1937). She also exhibited in London and New York. She painted portraits, figural compositions, figures dressed in "decorative costumes," often with clear Cubist influences. She died in the Treblinka camp, where she was transported after being captured in Marseilles.
