She graduated with an MA degree in Fine Art from the Iceland University of the Arts in 2017 and a BA degree in Fine Art from the same institution in 2007. She also holds a BA degree in Art History from the University of Aarhus, received in 2002. Ingunn works mainly in installations, painting and weaving.

Ingunn has participated in several group exhibitions internationally including Cluj Museum in Rumenia, Kunstverein Springhornhof in Germany and the Prague Biennale 5. Recent solo exhibitions include The Only Constant is Change at the National Gallery of Iceland and You are the Input at LÁ Art Museum in Hveragerði. In 2022, Ingunn recieved the Guðmunda S. Kristinsdóttir Art Award for Outstanding Female Artists.
