After completing her education at the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart, she ran a workshop in Esslingen until 1982.

[1][2] Though her involvement in several pertinent organizations, in recent years she has motivated activity in arts and crafts in Norway and beyond.

In 2019, she received the honorary award from Norske Kunsthåndverkere (NK, the Norwegian association for arts and crafts).

[1][4] Her work is difficult to classify as she moves from one style to another, sometimes inspired by tradition, sometimes experimenting with her own imagination, as for her Rode vaser (Red Vases, 2001), a collection of 25 vases on white plates arranged five side by side and five from top to bottom.

[2] In this connection she has been a driving force in a number of organizations, including Norske Kunsthåndverkere (serving as regional leader for central Norway), and as a board member of Trøndelag Centre for Contemporary Art and Ytre Art School in Ålesund.
