Abbott's foray in the art world began with photography. Although she loved the black and white process, she sought to expand her vision. She began mixing paint with photographs, using found objects such as car doors for frames, and fire to light up an image. Her work now includes light boxes, abstract paintings with photographic transfers, and large scale photographs mounted on plexiglass. Abbott's work has been collected all over the world.

As Sara Abbott travels and photographs trees, she takes notice of the presence they carry and the power they possess. As she begins creating a piece, she tries to bring that energy into the work. Rutherford Crossroads trees had a very regal feeling; the images evoke the rolling hillside and gentle breezes of wine country.
