Zofia Wojciechowska-Grabska

She graduated from the Female State Junior High School J. Słowacki in Warsaw in 1924, while learning painting and drawing with Tadeusz Marczewski. In the same year, she took up studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw under the supervision of Tadeusz Pruszkowski. She graduated in 1930 after a break related to maternity leave and her husband's illness. She stayed in touch with the Brotherhood of Saint. Łukasz.

She was a member of Association of Polish Artists and Designers (ZPAP). She practised portraits and wall painting, but the mainstream of her work was traditional religious painting. She left about 100, usually unsigned, paintings in Polish churches, including twenty in Warsaw churches. She also drew numerous charcoal portraits, including illustrations for her husband's novel Rapsodia Świdnicka (1955).
