Mia Moyad Original Mixed Media Art Signed "Angels Among Us"

Mia Moyad "Creating art, for me, was born out of self-care. As a former social worker, I spent many hours as a crisis counselor and department manager at a low-income clinic. Although it was a great privilege and my work was extremely gratifying, I also sought a release for my day’s challenges. I found beauty in the colors, shapes, and words as a way of reinvigorating my soul. When I work, I love to get my hands messy; to feel the paints somehow makes me feel alive. I usually listen to Hipster Cocktail music on Pandora and get lost in my piece. I love working on a rigid canvas so I can build up texture without feeling the need of holding back on a “too precious” surface. Bits of antique lace or botanicals from my garden occasionally find their way onto my canvas, along with shreds of up-cycled papers or even a delicate butterfly found on the cobblestone streets of Italy. Sometimes I also incorporate intricate hand sewn pieces to build layers."
