About Us
Some of you know me by my stage name- Freya, others of you know me as Emily. For the past 20+ years I've lived a double life...by day I was the Curator & Director of a major fine art gallery in Chicago, by night I was a bellydancer & artist. I worked very hard to keep those two lives separate. Now I've left the gallery world to teach artists everything I learned along the way. I started my own company, Gossamer Arts, to help artists run their art careers as a successful business. I continue to work with art collectors, helping them find specific works of art, pedestals, etc. Then I left Chicago & bought land near Rockford IL with plans to start an animal hospice. Along the way I started teaching belly dance & sharing my love of dance with people all around my new home. Gradually, my two worlds started to merge: performers from my bellydance world also benefited from art business classes, artists I worked with were also interested belly dance or hired me to model. Thus Gossamer Arts Bellydance is now officially a part of my company. It's been a weird & wonderful road that has brought me here, but I'm happy to go along for the ride and see where it takes me.
