She was on stage as an Actor Puppeteer for many years. She accomplished a Graduation Certificate from the Ministry of Culture and the Art Department of Theatre, Music and Stage.

From 1979, her life, first in USA and from 1982 in Australia, turned toward
fashion design and couture dress creating. She was known for her precision
and high skills in fashion technology and fabric coordination.
Her achievements were in developing the Australian way of pattern making,
trade sketches and for the creating of the most important dress of a woman's life the Bride's Gown.

In 1987, she established her first business and her skills in fashion were highly
awarded and sought after.
These days, Jolanta is completely devoting her talents toward digital arts
technology, oil and acrylic painting, ink drawing and photography.

From January 2022, after 40 years, creating artwork from home in the Gold
Coast, Queensland Australia, Jolanta and her husband moved to Texas to be
close to their children and the family.
She is fulfilling her dreams, using multiple techniques to produce inspirational
and intriguing Digital Arts in most interesting way.
Her style and expression through art is one of kind. Most of her original art
pieces are in private collections in the USA, Brazil, Australia and Europe and also in
public places.
