BIOGRAPHY 2024
Moriah Mylod is a multidisciplinary artist based in the Northwestern region of New Jersey. Her creative journey unfolds in her home studio, known as Birds in The Attic, where she delves into a multitude of creative processes. While her focus is primarily on painting, Moriah also explores mediums such as assemblage, photography, drawing and ephemeral art. Her art process is deeply intuitive in nature—her artwork revealing the hidden realms of her heart, mind, and soul. Through her work, Moriah translates human emotions into forms capturing the diverse spectrum of moods we experience as humans.
In addition to her studio practice, Moriah is an advocate for the arts community where she is involved in the Lehigh Art Alliance. In 2022, she founded The Easton Arts Journal, an online platform dedicated to celebrating and supporting local artists. Her commitment to meaningful projects is evident in her contributions to a bilingual children's book in 2021, aimed at addressing themes of grief and loss through watercolor illustrations. Furthermore, Moriah has been recognized for her community engagement, including her involvement in mindfulness-based collaborative initiatives combining creative writing, art, and nature.
Moriah holds a Master of Arts in Art Therapy from Cedar Crest College, where she also completed her undergraduate studies with a B.A. in Art Therapy and a Minor in Art History. Her artistic dedication was acknowledged when she was the recipient of the Howard Agar Memorial Prize for excellence in the studio arts. While she is a Registered Art Therapist, Moriah has transitioned from clinical practice to focus on her artistic endeavors. She previously served as an Adjunct Professor of Art Therapy at Cedar Crest College, imparting her knowledge to aspiring art therapists.
Throughout her career, Moriah's artwork has been showcased in both traditional and unconventional venues since 2015. Her contributions to her art practice have been highlighted in various publications, including Lehigh Happening Magazine, where she was featured among "Celebrating Creative Women in the Lehigh Valley." Moriah's impact extends beyond her artwork, as she has been recognized as a "Celebrated Art Psychotherapist" for her exhibition and therapeutic work at The Center for Great Expectation (C.G.E), a facility aiding mothers in recovery in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

Portrait of Moriah by artist Ryan Myers of New York.
"The work of Mylod reveals to us, despite our segue to what many would say is a transhuman world, our dreams are what continue to sustain us. What Mylod's work leads us to is an awe of that imaginative, sensory perception which makes us ask questions of ourselves and each other. Perhaps this confrontation of ontology is necessary when challenging our conditions."
