She graduated from the Hungarian Academy of Applied Arts in 1984. Her creative field includes silicates and their combinations with other materials, mainly metals. In her art, autonomous object creation has become a priority, with functionality gradually pushed into the background. Her most important projects are installations, site-specific exhibitions and exhibitions on the boundaries of street art genres. In 1987 she was awarded 2nd prize at the Sao Paulo Biennial, between 1989 and 2006 she won the scholarship of the International Ceramics Studio in Kecskemét several times, in 1991 she received the grant of the Vitae Cultural Foundation, and between 2016 and 2021 a scholarship from the National Cultural Fund. Her works can be found in several collections around Hungary.
