She has made a series called the Sea Mark drawings, in which she drew the surface of the sea looking towards the horizon, using simple painted blue marks on paper. In 2014 Kovats held a major solo exhibition, Oceans, at The Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh, in which the work derived from her preoccupation with the sea. This included her ambitious work All At Sea which brought together water from each of the world's seas, displayed in clear glass bottles. Drawing is a key element of Kovats' art practice and research. Kovats has written extensively about drawing including two publications on the subject, The Drawing Book: A Survey of Drawing: The Primary Means of Expression and Drawing Water: Drawing as a Mechanism for Exploration, published by The Fruitmarket Gallery.
