Behind the Scenes
Hi, I'm Abi! I am the digital artist and founder behind Plookiss. Welcome to my studio journal!
Step into the studio for a deeper look at how our minimalist cactus art comes to life. I created this space to share the wonderfully messy, behind-the-scenes reality of running an independent art brand.
Be sure to connect on social media for a daily peek into my creative process—the good, the bad, and the brilliantly chaotic reality of running an independent artist shop. From the first messy sketchbook pages to packaging up your new favourite botanical prints, thanks for being part of the journey.
