Halina loves Australian native flora and fauna for its uniqueness and diversity. With world-wide focus on climate change and its effect on the environment, she is especially interested in the conservation of rare and endangered species. In May 2015, Halina was awarded a Gold Medal by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Malvern UK and Best Botanical Art Exhibit for a series of six Australian Eucalyptus Mallees. In addition, the RHS purchased her first painting of Eucalyptus recurva which appears in the publication, RHS Botanical Illustration: The Gold Medal Winners (published in 2019). In July 2007, Halina was invited to become a member of the Florilegium Society at the RBGSyd Inc (Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney) resulting in her paintings being held in the permanent collection of the Botanic Gardens Trust, Sydney, NSW. Her painting of Hibiscus insularis appears in the publication, The Florilegium: Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney Celebrating 200 Years (published in 2016) and her second contribution, Telmatoblechnum indicum, appears in the Florilegium Society’s second publication, Botanic Endeavour: The Florilegium Society celebrates the Banks and Solander collection, which was published in 2020. Halina was awarded a Silver Medal by the RHS London for a series of eight paintings depicting Australian Native Hibiscus in November 2004. She also had works accepted for the 12th International Exhibition of Botanical Art and Illustration at the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. These works now form part of the Institute's permanent collection and appear in their catalogue for that exhibition.
