I was born in Budapest in 1982. After graduating from the Benedictine High School of Pannonhalma, I enrolled at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts and earned a degree in 2005 in Painting and Restoration. After college, I was employed by the Open Air Museum in Szentendre, where I learned the craft of leatherwork, and specifically traditional saddle-making. Since I left the Open Air Museum in the summer of 2012, I have been working in painting restoration as well as in leather-work and saddle-making.
