Her work has received international recognition, including winning the Young Masters Mentorship Prize during the Women in Art Fair 2026. She was shortlisted for the Guildford House Open 2025 and the Herbert Smith Freehills Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery. She was a finalist for the International FiKVA Award and Women United Art Prize.
Pilarczyk has exhibited internationally, including in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Telluride, Munich, and Palm Beach.
