She moved to Israel in 1980, and was a long-term resident of Jerusalem's Jewish Quarter in the Old City.Abramowitz was guest artist-in-residence at the Kol HaOt Gallery in Jerusalem in 2017, creating works on loss and memory. In 2007, she was an International Fellow resident at the Vermont Studio Center. She exhibits widely in Israel and abroad. She blogged on culture and her perspective on life in the holiest of cities at her personal blog "Golden Ochre: Art and Jerusalem," at Times of Israel, and wrote for The Jerusalem Post. She is a founding member of Jerusalem's Studio of Her Own organization dedicated to promoting women's art.Her American upbringing in a predominately Catholic environment and the international tone of her hometown set the stage for living in a capital city of vastly different identities in the eye of the Middle East storm.
