In the 1930s and 1940s, she studied, depicted and documented peasant culture as a painter and village researcher. Her paintings bear the marks of a born talent. Later, she illustrated textbooks, took on advertising design and silk painting, and when she managed to get a teaching job, she taught, most recently in the same school where she studied with her friend, Amy Károlyi.
