Graphic artist, winner of the Munkácsy Mihály Prize. Her teachers at the Hungarian College of Fine Arts were Aurél Bernáth, György Kádár, and Andor Bánhidy. She was part of the great generation of Hungarian graphic artists that emerged in the 1960s. In 1966, she received a Derkovits scholarship. From the mid-1980s, she and her husband, Csaba Rékassy, were members of the Artists' Colony of Szolnok. She created her woodcuts and linocuts with almost no lines, using a patchwork technique.
