The Central Asian landscape inspires this artist's work. Her handmade decorative arts are reflective of the natural beauty of the region and she uses only natural colors derived from dyes made from herbs. Akmatova's work in wool felt, and other natural resources, points to the longstanding cultural traditions of handicrafts in the region where function has been oft as important as form for nomadic peoples.

Akmatova studied at the Kyrgyz State University. Her work has been part of many arts and handicrafts exhibitions in Kyrgyzstan. She is the recipient of numerous awards and special diplomas for her handiwork.
