Born in Krakow, Poland, in 1971 and having lived at a young age in Kuwait with her family, she moved to Canada (in 1989), where she received her formal art training at the Ontario College of Art and Design. Based in Toronto, Ontario she has been exhibiting nationally for over fifteen years.

Krawecka continues to pursue international travel which deeply inspires her work.  While her painting technique is based on the Old Masters', her take on landscape is further touched by a uniquely personal treatment of light and space; for just as movement has figured a major role in her life, so it becomes the focus in her work.

Krawecka's paintings often depict large open spaces, such as skies and surfaces, defined by pattern formations always on the brink of change. While exploring the subtle transience of light, her ubiquitous skies referring to a universal space of collective memory, she strives to capture that elusive movement, in an atmospheric blurring of boundaries between land, water, and sky; representational moving towards abstract. In this subtle fluidity where nothing is constant, mass suddenly dematerializes while sky takes on substance, space becoming tangible.
