Behind the slightly opened door of “Leave the Light On” we find a woman reading by candlelight in quiet solitude. Within our walls there are untold stories that we search for, a deep sense of understanding. With the gentle curve of the staircase, I incorporate the feminine with the masculinity of the physicality of the structure. The colour palette of the red and the dark shadows also suggest the feminine.
I hope the quiet solitude of the figure inspires and connects to the viewer and the little bird adds delight and whimsy. Creative lighting of the artwork transforms a new dimension and the relationship between the viewer and the space around.

Architectural Wall-Sculptures and Sky Cloud Paintings that Elevate Your Space and Your Heart

"I am a sculptural storyteller of our time-kept places."

Helping people connect to their joy by capturing our time-kept places of where we live work and shelter.

Canadian Artist Heather Kocsis creates evocative three-dimensional wall-sculptures using layers of wood.
Heather earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree, from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. Her first solo exhibition of wall-sculptures sold in its entirety to a Toronto collector. Since then she has received numerous awards, and her work has been exhibited in over fifty exhibitions throughout North America.

Heather finds wood organic, tactile, and respects that it has sprung from the earth and holds history. Heather captures factories, places of worship or a humble cottage, and is moved by all who have sheltered within these spaces. She doesn’t just hear their stories, she feels them. Then she enters her studio with purpose and a profound amount of practice. Not afraid of the creative process, Heather lives in pursuit of it. She is willing, perhaps even driven, to travel to wherever it takes her; thus the work constantly evolves.

Heather believes that sometimes it is not until the buildings are gone that we realize how much they shaped our identity. So she continues to remind us of this by working with her hands to imbue our stories into her art: art that is created not contrived. It is work that is elusive, yet easy to view. It expects a little something from you. You can choose to admire it, but even more you can choose to enter it. In doing so you begin to understand how this work can reach inside your chest, hold your heart and speak to your own sense of home. Heather understands home; she seeks it in the temple and the skyscraper; she finds home inside herself and in every alleyway and cathedral she captures. She meticulously reminds us to preserve home within each of us.

Heather is evolving her dimensional work into her new collection of Sky Cloud Paintings. Her paintings are expansive in style and evoke an alternate dimension, as you feel your heart expand and your imagination ignite as your eye wonders through the details.
