Rita Deanin Abbey worked in a variety of materials, techniques, styles, themes, and sizes to create artworks that range from small scale to monumental. She utilized the language of color, line, pattern, texture, and form for inquiry into limitless compositional elements. 

Below are series currently on display in the museum.

  • A diagonal, side shot of a sculpture. The focal point of the photo is a bronze sculpture of a muscular, male figure wearing a mountain lion skull. He is doing a ballet pose, lifting his furtherest away arm up with his wrist bent, and lifting his closest arm out and toward us with a pointed index finger. His closest leg is also lifted toward us. The background is blurred but we can still make out the main gallery of the museum with colorful paintings on the wall, a sloped ceiling, and entries to other small galleries.

  • Two guests in the center of the photo walk the hallway of the main gallery of the museum, which features five visible, colorful, large-scale paintings. Their backs are to the camera, but you can see their heads are turned to view the paintings which are all abstracts with rectangular and organic shapes ranging from blues, reds, and yellows as the main colors. The guest closest to the camera is wearing soft green pants with a matching yellow and green sweater.
