An art historian by profession, in many ways Sokolowska was a self taught artist.  She never went to art college or received any other form of formal art training. Thus, in the development of her own art practice role models played an important part. As most artists she was naturally drawn to artists, whose work dealt with similar themes or visual vocabulary. She found that learning about the work and biography of some artist helped her to define and develop confidence in her own art practice.  In 2009 she embarked on a long term project that is a series of tributes to the female artists whose works in particular inspired and nourished her own art.  These are: Anna Atkins, Louise Burgeoise, Georgia O’Keefe and Agnes Martin.

Exploring the relationship between plants and photography Sokolowska produced the series of sun-prints and drawings presented as cyanotypes reflecting Anna Atkins botanical cyanotypes, which were also part of Botanical Archive project she did with Archeologia Fotografii in The Botanical Gardens in Warsaw.

The multimedia project The Terror of Being Alive was inspired by Louise Burgoise art practice and the importance she placed on the emotions of fear and agression, as the source of her art.

In My Equivalents 2017 she responds to life and work of  Georgia O’Keeffe, by means of staging abstract images referencing photographs of clouds by Alfred Stiegliz, O’Keeffe’s husband.
