Selected critical commentaries: "...she is able to combine the brilliance and translucence of hand rolled and antique glass with apparently simple, but extremely subtle design and color"....Calvin Goodman, Author and Art Critic for American Artist Magazine "Linda Abbott's expertise, energy, vision and enthusiasm have done much to give momentum to glass art in Utah"...Richard Christensen, Art Critic, Deseret News of Salt Lake City, Utah "...radiant
stream of color...the art of painting lost a promising watercolorist
when Ms. Abbott took up the glass making art. Glass is her palette
now. Effects are never dull and finished results are often more
exciting than a painting on paper...excitement that is as varied
as the quality of light and as transitive as a fleeting moment...her
impressionist teacher made her duly conscious of the color properties
of light"...George Dibble, Art Critic, Salt Lake Tribune, Salt
