During the early stages of her career, Kocsis’s artistic interests included video installation art. In the late 1990s, she exhibited large-scale multimedia installations and screened several videos nationally. In 2000, she began focusing on painting, incorporating abstract and figurative elements. She earned her BFA from the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver in 2005 and has dedicated herself to painting since then.

She has participated in residencies in Paris, Berlin, Vancouver, and Vermont and has received several grants and awards. Her Contingent Bodies was curated by Glenn Alteen and published in a catalog by Grunt Gallery. Her #techboyz series was curated by Lubos Culen at the Vernon Public Art Gallery in British Columbia, Canada, and published in a catalog. Kocsis is currently working on her Master of Fine Arts.
