HEATHER KOCSIS

Heather Kocsis - Mixed Media/Wall Sculpture Artist (Cambridge, ON)

Heather Kocsis (b.1974) creates architectural wall-sculptures of the time-kept places where we find meaning, where we feel safe, and where we are at peace. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree, with Honours, from Queen’s University, CA, with a specialization in printmaking. Heather has participated in over 50 exhibitions throughout North America. She has exhibited at the juried Architectural Digest Design Show in Manhattan, NY, for six consecutive years. The New York shows were instrumental in bringing international attention to the distinctive nature of her work.

Kocsis’s work is in private and corporate art collections throughout North America and Europe including the Public Art Collection of the City of Toronto, The Sony Centre for Performing Arts, Toronto, ON; Langdon Hall, Relais and Chateaux, Cambridge, ON; 5 Penn Plaza, NY, NY; Isherwood Geostructural Engineers, Toronto, ON, and St. Mary’s Hospital, Kitchener, ON, to name a few.

In 2001, at Kocsis’s first solo exhibit, her collection of fourteen heritage industrial landmarks was sold to a prominent Canadian art collector. It was loaned to Kitchener City Hall as a public art installation. In 2024, the entire collection was resold to another esteemed art collector at an enhanced value. The collection will remain intact and continues to be exhibited publicly at Kitchener City Hall. 

She has received grants from the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council, The Region of Waterloo Arts Fund, and a microgrant for a body of work to be placed in palliative care institutions. She has collaborated internationally with performing artists and filmmakers to create short films investigating themes of social justice and cultural heritage. A study of Kocsis’s work was entered into the curriculum of the Philadelphia School for Creative and Performing Arts. Her process has been featured in numerous documentary films including “Making Art Toronto”.

Kocsis is a frequent art juror and guest speaker. A member of the Academy of Arts for Kitchener-Waterloo, Kocsis is a mentor to emerging artists and belongs to the Grand River Arts Collective, a Waterloo Region organization that advocates for opportunities and professional development for artists.

Heather’s home and studio are based in Cambridge, ON, Canada.
