Gauguin trained as a dance teacher in Germany. In the 1930s she moved to Trondheim and made her debut at the Trøndelag Theater. In 1941 she married the visual artist Paul René Gauguin, who was a set designer at the Unge Trøndelag Theater from 1939 to 1945. In 1946 they moved to Oslo, where she got a job at the Studio Theater. The couple divorced before 1950. When the Studio Theater closed down, she started working at the National Traveling Theater, and she also worked at the People's Theater and to a lesser extent at the Norwegian Theater, NRK's Radio Theater and Television Theater, and in Norwegian films. Among her last theatrical appearances was as the teacher in Grease under the direction of Stein Winge in 1984.[3]

Gauguin was the daughter of the architect Thomas Krenkel Jelstrup (1863–1917) and Emilie Constanse "Milly" (née Winter-Hjelm) (1876–1955).
