Career
She is known for her oil paintings, drawings in pencil or chalk,[7] etchings and illustrations for many books.[1] Her work is described as combining mood, thought creativity and personal vision with "unmatched skill and preparedness coupled with outstanding craftmanship".[8] Her paintings show "mysterious, sometimes almost bizarre figures" that "provoke emotion from observers."[8]
Her illustrations have been published in a number of books, including the Hungarian translation of the Anne of Green Gables series of children's books by Lucy Maud Montgomery translated by Katalin Szűr-Szabó,[9] and books of Hungarian folktales such as The Silver King's Flute by Zsigmond Móricz,[10] and The Tree That Reached the Sky.[citation needed] She and her husband also illustrated academic volumes such as Hajdú-Bihar megye 10-11. századi sírleletei,[11] and The late neolithic of the Tisza region (1987).[12]
Her autobiography, Élet és Művészet (Life and Art), was published in Budapest in 2007.[13]
