About

Moriah Gurevich is a student at Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland, Oregon pursuing a bachelor's degree in animation with a minor in stop motion. Her main focuses are set design (specifically natural landscapes), painting, sculpting, and puppet fabrication.

 

Moriah has always been inspired by the whimsical and surreal aspects of nature. She strives for people to enter a whole other world when they see her artistic creations, while also feeling a sense of familiarity and a deeper connection to their own perception of the natural world. She commonly uses materials such as moss, organic forms, and earth tones in her artwork in order to represent specific qualities of the outdoors, as well as to emphasize a comforting, yet surreal presence. 

​

Through the juxtaposition of the natural with the fantastical, Moriah's work compels the viewer to see her art as a collaborative experience of visual storytelling.
