She used to see heaven, the Mother of God and saints in her dreams. She dedicated a few paintings to her visions, which she considered to be warnings and harbingers of the future. The most famous of them is Heaven (Niebo), a composition on wrapping paper made in the watercolour and collage technique. Raised by grandparents, marked by the illness and premature death of her mother, lonely, she persistently fought to live and create art her own way. She painted, embroidered, created clay sculptures and animal figurines of leather and wire, and wrote poems and religious songs. However, her neighbours mostly remembered her wastefulness. She would spend money received for her paintings to purchase land that she was unable to farm, and would neglect the fields and animals and waste one house after another. When everyone else slept, she would graze her animals; perhaps it was only at night that she felt safe, free and happy. She kept believing in her own value and talent. She avoided other people, focusing on her desires and fears. Her paintings are almost unknown in her home village. Neighbours given them as presents used to throw them away. Not many of her works remain even though she was making art for nearly eighty years.
