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.

Sara Abbott started working with multiple mediums in 2006 by incorporating photography that she had shot all over the world into her paintings. Recently, Abbott came across some old family photos and was inspired by their timelessness. She began composing these paintings by layering multiple images and creating a series that felt like a storyboard.
