Davina Hsu is a New York–based interdisciplinary artist and energy intuitive working across fiber art, public art, and social practice. Her work explores the thresholds between energy, materiality, mysticism, and socio-emotional healing. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Parsons School of Design (2009) and a Master of Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts (2023). She was a recipient of the New Futures Artist Award from The Other Art Fair (2023) and the Edward Zutrau Memorial Award (2022). Her works have been exhibited across the United States and Taiwan, including Fou Gallery, New York (2026); Turley Gallery, Hudson, New York (2025); Yang.Collective, New York (2025); ArtBridge Projects New York (2025); Wassaic Project, New York (2024) and Soka Art Center, Taipei and Tainan. She has also participated in an artist-in-residence program at the Wassaic Project (2023), and was commissioned by Battery Park City Authority and the ArtBridge to create a public art installation in South Battery Park City, New York (2024). Her work has been featured in international publications including Hyperallergic, Chronogram Magazine, The Chief, Spectrum NY1 News, Marie Claire (Taiwan), Harper’s Bazaar (Taiwan), Art.Investment (Taiwan). Art Collection + Design (Taiwan), and ARTITUDE Magazine (Taiwan).
Centered in a fiber-based practice, Hsu's work utilizes natural wool through a meditative needle-felting process to translate multidimensional perception into tactile, totemic sculptures and tapestries. Rooted in spiritual awakening, her work functions as a living documentation of subtle energetic realms, utilizing color, form, and symbol as vibrational remedies to connect with the viewer.
