The artist specialized in conservation of paintings while at the university. She studied at Faculty of Conservation and Restoration of Works of Art, which was established after World War II by professors, who fled Vilnius University (nowadays placed in Lithuania). Professor Leonard Torwirt - founder - was an author of the copy of the Icon of the Holy Virgin of Czestochowa (in America) and the chief conservator of the Miraculous Image of the Holy Virgin of Czestochowa (in Poland).

Studies at the Faculty of Conservation and Restoration of Works of Art at the University in Torun gave the artist an opportunity to master not only the secrets of the art of painting (writing) icons, but also what is very important in iconography, she mastered the old techniques and technologies of painting (writing) icons.
