Abbey`s interpretations of geological characteristics of the desert landscape grew more and more emotional, as expressed in the From Desert to Bible Vistas Series, 1979- 1987, paintings inspired by feelings, images, and experiences from living in the deserts of Israel and the southwestern United States. She combines a spirit of the ancient past with energy from her contemporary environment. The work is her observation and celebration of life as she explores the metaphysical realm by immersing herself in the physical one. She has continued an intuitive development of the compositional elements to discover images. Canvases packed with explosive color and dynamic shapes allude to complex and mysterious communications, inviting the viewer`s interpretation. Through the evolvement of these paintings, Abbey has become a deliverer of messages, perhaps unconsciously. She has become a vehicle to express concerns of humanity, concerns revealed through the emotional and expressive use of color and form. Her messages arc grounded by an underlying structure that refers to topographical terrain. The tensions produced by fragmented movements and segments are resolved and unified, creating a strong illusion of three-dimensional space.
