About the artist
AMANDA ABBOTT WAS BORN AND RAISED ON CAPE COD, MASSACHUSETTS...GROWING UP IN THE CLASSIC AND QUAINT NEW ENGLAND VILLAGE OF BARNSTABLE.
THROUGHOUT HER LIFE, AMANDA'S CHILDLIKE
CURIOSITY, SENSE OF WONDER, AND LOVE FOR ALL THINGS CRAFT, WAS NURTURED BY HER ARTIST MOTHER, JAN HEMEON.
Because of her, amanda’s ADOLESCENCE WAS FULL OF ART PROJECTS, NATURE WALKS, TRAVEL, AND IMAGINATION.
AS A YOUNG ADULT, SHE BRIEFLY ATTENDED SMFA
BOSTON. THOUGH IT WASNT
THE RIGHT FIT, THIS DECISION TO LEAVE WOULD LEAD TO A FIFTEEN YEAR CAREER IN TATTOOING, AND EVER-EVOLVING CRAFTING SIDE HUSTLE. TATTOOING REMAINS THE CONSTANT IN HER ARTISTIC LIFE. SECONDARY TO THAT IS AN UNQUENCHABLE THIRST FOR NEW SKILLS AND CRAFTING HOBBIES.
AMANDA CURRENTLY LIVES IN
HER LITTLE HOUSE IN DARTMOUTH, MA WITH HER PARTNER MARK, HER SENIOR RESCUE DACHSHUNDS, TWO KITTIES, AND HER SLOW growing FOOD FOREST VEGETABLE GARDEN YARD.
Mustard moon was born out of a love for miniature worlds and imagination.
It is a space meant to inspire and make you feel warm and cozy.
This entire space, from the handpainted floor to the golden girls themed memorabilia bathroom, was created and executed by Amanda herself.
the waiting area is meant to feel like a miniature movie set of a classic 70’s living room. Every piece has been painstaKingly sought after and curated by Amanda herself.
A bookshelf filled with retro toys, 70’s cookbooks, and art reference separates the waiting area from amanda’s art space. Here you will find art supplies of many mediums and materials.
A complimentary coffee, tea, and snack station is provided while you await your tattoo appointment.
