Abstract
My name is Moriah Godwin, and I'm a painter who creates vibrant portraits that challenge traditional beauty standards and encourage viewers to appreciate a diverse range of beauty, self-expression, and feminine strengths. Even though my subjects have neutral facial expressions, they exude a strong sense of self. I invite the viewer to understand my subjects deeper than surface level.
I will be sharing two to three paintings that explore feelings of individuality and sonder.
“At a Loss For Words,” 14”x15,” watercolor on paper, February 2022
“We Are Worlds Away,” 9”x12,” gouache and colored pencil on paper, December 2022

These are the artworks I plan to display in the art gallery on campus for the Creative Symposium, but it is possible that there will only be space for one or two. I wrote a short artist statement and included the titles in the abstract portion. Since I am submitting visual artworks, I made the title of my submission the name of the piece I will be sharing if I am only able to fit one work into the gallery space. I have two other titles that I will also hopefully be presenting!
