In 1928 she married the artist David Zagoskin. In the same year she joined the creative association "Circle of Artists", one of the founders of which was D. Ye. Zagoskin.

A. Kibrik (1938-1959). From 1938 she worked in the experimental lithographic workshop of the Leningrad Union of Artists, where she also created her most famous lithograph "Katyusha" (1940).
In 1951-1959 and 1960-1967 she created cycles of illustrations for the novel "Eugene Onegin" by Alexander Pushkin. In 1961, the second personal exhibition was held in the halls of the Moscow Union of Artists, which brought the artist "wide" fame.
