She began doing art in the early 1950s. Her work won recognition from the Northern California Women Artists Association, and a piece by Mrs. Abramovitz now hangs on the wall of the downtown library in Palo Alto. She was honored by the city of Oaxaca in Mexico for a piece presented to the city to mark Oaxaca's 450th anniversary. Her other work appears in the Neuberger Museum in New York as well as in private collections in America and Europe. See less
