About the Artist

Judit Csotsits creates sculptures, drawings, and paintings that inhabit the threshold between the familiar and the imagined. Her work is guided by a fascination with transformation, not as a singular event, but as the quiet condition of all living things. Human, animal, and botanical forms merge and separate, suggesting a world in which every being carries traces of another life.

Raised between cultures after emigrating from Hungary to the United States as a child, Csotsits developed an early awareness that identity is never fixed. That sensibility continues to shape her practice. Rather than illustrating existing myths, she constructs an evolving visual mythology of her own, one informed by the rhythms of nature, the language of dreams, the intricate structures of biology, and the enduring power of folklore.

Working primarily in ceramic sculpture alongside watercolor and drawing, she approaches each medium as another way of revealing the same unfolding world. Surfaces accumulate like bark, coral, weathered stone, or living tissue, while hybrid figures emerge as though discovered rather than invented. They invite viewers into a space where beauty and unease coexist, where boundaries soften, and where transformation is experienced as both physical and spiritual.

Csotsits received her B.A. in Art from UCLA and her M.F.A. in Painting from Otis College of Art and Design. In addition to her studio practice, she has taught art at the college, secondary  levels throughout Southern California. 

Her work has been exhibited in galleries and juried exhibitions across Los Angeles and continues to evolve through an ongoing exploration of material, mythology, and the interconnectedness of life.
