	Rona was an accredited artist of the Australian art world and is listed in several encyclopedias of artists and galleries in Australia. Her work is described as abstract-symbolist, working with religious themes, nature, and mythological characters. She taught art for many years at St. Aloysius Girls High School in Newcastle. She painted a series of paintings entitled ‘Cosmic Birth’ inspired by the [[Stanzas of Dzyan]] in [[H. P. Blavatsky\|H. P. Blavatsky’s]] [[The Secret Doctrine (book)\|''The Secret Doctrine'']]. Originally there were over seventy oil paintings in this series, a number of which are now owned by TS members. Several are currently housed in Lodge premises around the country. She did a great deal of work for charitable organizations, such as those involved with drug addicts, alcoholics, the blind and the handicapped, as well as animal welfare and [[vegetarianism]]. She also worked with the Newcastle Branch of the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association. In her final years, Rona remained dedicated to theosophical ideals, working constantly for various social issues as well as animal rights.

	Following a telephone call from Ralph Abbott, Rona’s husband, the Acting Education Coordinator, Pedro Oliveira, visited him together with the National President in November 2012, to accept his generous offer of donating the late Rona Scott-Abbott’s collection of theosophical books as well as books on art, mythology, mysticism, poetry and psychology, some of which will be of great value for the [[Campbell Theosophical Research Library]]. Also included in the collection donated to the National Headquarters were over forty of her paintings based on the Stanzas of Dzyan in ''The Secret Doctrine'' referred to above.
