Dröfn Guðmundsdóttir graduated from The Icelandic College of Art and Design as a sculptress in the year 1993.

Right after graduation she chose glass as her medium and she started out her career by cooperating with the gallery Hjá þeim by Skólavörðustígur in Reykjavík which promoted her works. 

Later on 10 female artists founded the gallery Listakot by Laugavegur and Dröfn was one of them.  She worked on glass slumping in her atelier by Fálkagata 30b and when Listakot came to an end in the year 2000 Dröfn founded her own company around her art and works by the name of Íslensk list (Icelandic art) which is still running.

As a guide in Iceland she has taken photographs on her trips.

She has had exhibitions of her glassworks and photographs  in Iceland as well as abroad.
