Starr Abbott's traditional style of oil painting is reminiscent of the renaissance of the European Old Master's. Starr is endowed with an unusual ability to capture the depth, truth, and beauty of her subject matter in rich vivid colors. However, only a handful of people understand that Starr's paintings are her own emotional locution, this parlance is the sole of her art and is embodied into the totality of her artistry; assimilated in, colors, objects, subjects, foregrounds, and backgrounds. She weaves this stealthy quintessence into her paintings without causing a ripple in the proper composition of the work, deceiving the most trained observer to see only a beautiful master style painting. Descendant of three generations of accomplished artists, Starr has not only inherited talent, but has a rare, and deep understanding of the arts. Abbott's grandfather, C.S. Pietro, was noted as New York Society sculptor in the early 1900's. Among many patrons and friends of her grandfather were Henry Ford, J.P. Morgan, and President W.H. Taft. Two Uncles, Salvatore Scarpitta and C.S. Pietro Jr., were also among the many accomplished artists and sculptors in Starr Abbott's family.

Starr has won numerous awards for local and National art shows. American Artist Magazine, Southwest Art Magazine, and other major publications feature her work. Starr was one of the winners of the American Artist magazine. Her work was one of only 100 paintings chosen out of 16,000 artists in the United States for show.
