Hey there! Welcome to The Knotted Moss Website. My name is Amanda. I am the artist, content creator, and owner of The Knotted Moss. Writing and creativity are important pieces of who I am as in individual. I am proud to be a small town girl. I grew up and currently live in Western North Carolina. One of the best things about living in the WNC area, I believe, is the incredible community of small businesses and creative entrepreneurs.
I graduated from Appalachian State University in 2007 with a Master’s Degree in Family & Consumer Sciences, Secondary Education. I studied education as well as design, textiles, fashion/clothing construction, nutrition, wellness, family relationships, and interior design. I became interested in graphic design, psychology/mental health, and small business in the process.
What I love the most about my current life as an artist is the unique opportunity to connect with people. The chance to share pieces of our lives through conversation and stories. Those authentic connections inspire me and bring meaning to my work.
