Enrolling at the Art Students League of New York, she studied with Boardman Robinson and was especially inspired by other artists she met there, especially John Sloan, Ernest Fiene, Emil Ganso and Alfred Maurer. Ganso was so impressed by her painting that he recommended her to Erhard Weyhe, who selected several of her gouaches for his Weyhe Gallery.Meanwhile, Robinson advised her to discontinue Art Students League classes and focus on her own spontaneity. In 1927, Angel returned to Russia for a two-year visit with a sister, and she studied for nine months with David Sternberg and others at the Moscow Academy of Art. During that period she was much influenced by the styles of Matisse and Cezanne. On her return home, she spent time in Paris, visiting museums and sketching. The family settled in Chicago, and Rifka Angel did many modernist style genre, self portrait and figure paintings there, especially using her daughter as a model. She was also a part of the Illinois Federal Art Project in the Easel Division. In 1930, the Knoedler Gallery of New York held a one-woman show for Angel, and this exhibition included works from Russia and Paris. The next year, Knoedler held a second exhibition, which had many paintings of the daughter Blossom. In the mid 1930s, Angel and her family moved to New York City where she continued her career, focusing on genre, figure and floral still lifes in oil, watercolor and mixed media.
