Her first exhibition took place at the Helikon fair in Budapest in 1922. She married the artist Vilmos Perlrott Csaba (1880−1955), with whom she lived in Germany between the years 1920 and 1924.

     From 1924 to 1928 the couple undertook long visits to the French capital where the École de Paris influenced their work. Definitively settling in Hungary from 1928, Gráber visited the artists’ community of Nagybánya several times. She was a member of the New Society of Artists (KUT), and after 1948 was a member of the new artists’ community of Szentendre.

From the state she received the title of Merited Artist, and the Gold Degree of the Work Order. A lifetime exhibition was organized in 1991 in Szekszárd, at the House of Arts, and the Szentendre Gallery. The artist is represented in the Ferenczy Museum in Szentendr, and the Hungarian Jewish Museum and Archives.
