“My speech is imperfect. Not because I want to shine with words, but out of the impossibility of finding those words, I speak in images. With nothing else to express the words from the depths.”-C.G. Jung
BIOGRAPHY 2022
2020 Self Portrait/Moriah M. Mylod
Moriah Mylod- Daggett, MAAT, ATR is a Visual Artist via Interdisciplinary Arts, Registered Art Therapist, and an Adjunct Professor of Art Therapy. Moriah is residing in the North-West region of New Jersey with her husband and fur creatures. She primarily works in her home studio, Birdseye in The Attic where she explores various art processes (mostly) painting medium applications on canvas, paper and wood-- as well as explores mixed-media, writing streams of consciousness and building assemblages. Moriah‘s art process is intuitive in nature—her artwork unveils the unseen world of her heart, psyche, and spirit where she emotionally materializes the moods we hold as humans in vividly untamed colored inner-landscapes that are evocative in expressionism. In 2022 Moriah founded The Easton Arts Journal an online arts publication that celebrates and supports local artists. In 2021, Moriah's watercolor illustrations were published in a bilingual children's book- a collaborative project to support topics of grief and loss. Also in 2021 Moriah was a featured member of the American Art Therapy Association for her work in the community-- as well as involved in a mindfulness-based collaborative book project that utilized creative writing, art and nature in 2020.
Moriah passionately pursued a Master of Arts in Art Therapy from Cedar Crest College in May 2016 and graduated from Cedar Crest College in 2013 with a B.A. in Art Therapy and a Minor in Art History-- where she was a recipient for the Howard Agar Memorial Prize for demonstration of significant ability in the studio arts. She now teaches at her Alma Mater as an Undergraduate & Graduate Adjunct Professor of Art Therapy. Moriah is a published artist/art therapist and has professionally exhibited her artwork in conventional and unconventional venues since 2015. In 2017 Moriah was featured in Lehigh Happening Magazine "Celebrating Creative Women in the Lehigh Valley" as well as recognized in the media as a "Celebrated Art Psychotherapist" in New Brunswick, New Jersey for her Fine Art Exhibition and clinical work at The Center for Great Expectation (C.G.E) a treatment facility for mothers in Recovery.

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."
