Abelman was known for her graphic work that she produced for various Federal Art Projects in New York during the Depression. She was heavily influenced by Surrealism, Constructivism, and Social Realism. Abelman's work often reflected the world around her during the exhausting Depression and World War II eras.

In tradition of the Constructivists, her work often reflects a machine aesthetic, combining machine parts with human or organic forms where their presence conveys both positive and negative consequences of a mechanized society
