Rebel Dowdle -ARTIST

Rebel Dowdle born at Pascagoula, Mississippi has resided at various places in the United States before making his home at San Angelo, Texas where he lives with his wife Rita. They have two daughters, Diane & husband David Camfield, and Lisa & husband Bryan Smith and one grandson, Nathan Smith.

Rebel has always been interested in art and hoped to make it a career. In 1971 he gave up painting to open a sign business and has continued that career for 32 years as well as being a full time Firefighter. He retired from the San Angelo Fire Department in 1994, currently continuing with his sign business and reviving his love of art. In 1999 Rebel decided to master photorealistic art with an airbrush. He mostly paints with an airbrush, but many of his paintings are mixed media. People and wildlife are his passion. He sells original art and canvas prints.

Rebel recently had a painting of a screaming eagle with the United States flag reflecting in his eye purchased by a fellow Texan and given as a gift to a friend that works at the Pentagon. It will hang in the meeting room for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He also has a painting hanging in NASA.
