Rabel Bet-Shmuel  [website]

I was born in 1981 in Baghdad, Iraq. I Came to America in 1989. I have 2 younger sisters.

I've been involved in the fine arts at an early age. All throughout high school, my artistic skill started to develop into something more personal. After leaving high school I attended Oakton Community College and then later Loyola University Chicago. I Graduated from Loyola in summer of 2003 with a Bachelor in General and Integrative Studies (BGIS) with a concentration in the fine arts.

My drawings and paintings involve Assyria in a social, religious and political point of view. I create artwork that covers all three areas. These motives are driven by everyday experiences.

Ideas that don’t provoke society have little or no need for a presence within the artistic intellect. You come closer to ideas that spark the intellect.
