Starr Abbott

1944-

The Master's Work

Inspiration from God

Starr Abbott continues the traditions of her artistic family.

Starr Abbott's paintings are produced in an undercurrent of respect that she has for the masterful work of her grandfather, C.S. Pietro. This also causes her to apply constant pressure to herself and to refine all aspects of her paintings with her natural ability, training, and a perfectionist nature. She works to produce masterful Victorian style work.

Starr Abbott's realism paintings are her own emotional locution. This parlance is the soul of her art and is embodied in the totality of her artistry assimilated in: colors, objects, subjects, foregrounds, and backgrounds. This stealthy quintessence is woven into her realism paintings without causing ripple in the proper composition of the work, deceiving the most trained observer to see only a beautiful artistic picture.

Starr Abbott is truthful, bold, and consistent in her work. She does not use pastel colors. The meanings she attaches to segments of her art do not deviate from one artistic picture to another. When one gains knowledge of the lures, mysteries, and meanings found in her realism paintings, an elaborate consistent map of the thoughts and soul of a creative and complex realism artist is exposed. She finds this not as an intrusion but as an inclusion into her beautiful world of art.

Starr Abbott states, "I feel we all have the need to be understood; we also guard who we tell our secrets to."
