2020 Self Portrait/Moriah M. Mylod
Moriah Mylod- Daggett, MAAT, ATR, RYT is a Visual Artist, Painter, Registered Art Psychotherapist, Registered Yoga Teacher, Multidisciplinary Educator and an Adjunct Professor of Art Therapy residing in 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 painting medium applications on canvas, paper and wood. Moriah‘s art process is intuitive in nature—her artwork unveils the unseen world of the 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 and abractionism. The last several years Moriah has been working artistically in the great outdoors- specifically in the Ephemeral Arts creating Earth Mandalas from United States Eastern terrains for personal healing & artistic expression. Currently she offers workshops and classes in her community where she guides individuals and groups in the ancient art and spiritually creative practice of mandala-making in nature. Moriah has been working in the local community providing private group and individual art psychotherapy sessions with various populations and mentoring young artists and art therapists. Moriah has experience in clinical work, expressive art lessons, trauma-informed presentations, poetry readings, creative arts workshops, yoga lessons, community art projects such as murals, facilitating art experiential and guided-meditations.
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 as an Undergrad Adjunct Professor of Art Therapy. Moriah has professionally exhibited her artwork in conventional and unconventional venues such as local galleries, pubs/restaurants, historical site, handmade shops, beauty studio, brain-health facilities, Oncology hospital unit, non-profit agencies, tattoo studios 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, a treatment facility for mothers.

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."
