He work has been in many shows at the Butler Institute of American Art, winning an honorable mention award at the 82nd National Midyear show for a color pencil drawing. Kovach frequently creates acrylic or oil paintings. He is most noted for his color pencil drawings that use a special technique to enhance the color of the pencils.

Kovach has also written a thesis for art titled "The Theory of Artistic Relativity" that attempts to "reverse the course of art" back into art's developmental stages by creating entirely new categories of art never seen or missed before. The first derivational category of art created according to the theory's implications is called "Psychotic Symbolism.” All of his work is based on this theory.

Kovach is also a game inventor. His first game invention was a card and dice game called "Luck Plus" that was sold to the company that makes the popular card game "UNO.” Luck Plus sold about 1.5 million games worldwide. His latest game invention is a board game and app called Mega Moves that has been sold in many local venues.
