Hi, I’m Abby—the artist and creator behind Abby’s Creative Escape.

It’s kind of wild to think about, but years ago I had almost 2,000 followers when I was creating under the name purelifephotoss. I had shops, social accounts, and a growing online presence… until I lost it all. A poor choice on my part led to everything being shut down. At the time, I was struggling deeply with my mental health, and honestly, it felt easier to walk away than to keep goin

Giving up felt right in that moment.

But as I began to heal, I realized how much I missed being creative. Art has always been my escape—my safe space—and slowly, after many rebrands and restarts, I found my way to this: Abby’s Creative Escape.

For once, I didn’t second-guess myself. I just jumped in and followed my passion. This brand is the first decision I’ve made in a long time that felt 100% right.

I won’t lie—I still struggle with the business side of things, especially social media. But after six years, I’m finally in a place where I feel proud of what I’m building. This space is for anyone who’s ever had to start over. For anyone who’s battled inner demons and still showed up anyway.

If that’s you—welcome. I’m glad you’re here.
