Rollin Kocsis is currently the curator of art at Gallery Fity Six in Memphis, Tennessee

Rollin Kocsis was born in South Bend, Indiana. He graduated from Indiana University with honors and a degree in art education. After graduation from college, he moved to Memphis and worked a few art related jobs. In 1971, Rollin was hired to teach visual arts for the Memphis City Schools. Over 37 years, he taught junior high and high school general and advanced art, photography, printmaking, pottery, fibers, and yearbook production.

Aside from his regular employment duties, he attended Memphis State Univeristy (now the University of Memphis) and earned two advanced degrees: a Master of Arts in Teaching Art Education (1976) and a Master of Fine Arts in Painting (1991).

Now that he is retired from teaching, Rollin devotes his time to what he loves most: the creation of art. Currently he is represented by two galleries in the Mid-South: The Sara Howell Gallery in Jonesboro, Arkansas, and Palladio Arts and Antiques in Memphis, TN. Rollin's goal as a professional full-time artist is to create paintings that will bring people pleasure, make them think, and beautify their environment.

Rollin has spent many years painting with oils or acrylic on canvas. Recently, he has rekindled his interest in painting on silk. Rollin hand paints silk scarves, sarongs, and wall-hangings.
