7/2/1941 PilsenShe has been involved in textile art all her life - especially hand-knotted and woven tapestries, bobbin lace, batik, painting on silk, designer clothing and textile accessories.
For more than 45 years she has also been working on non-woven woolen tapestries - aradekor, which was created in Kdyňské spinning mills in the 1960s.
