My Bio
Freya is a Belly Dancer & Veil artists from Chicago. She has been belly dancing since 1999 & has studied with some pretty kick-ass ladies over the years includning: Mae the Bellydancer, Jasmine Jahal, Deserae Hunyar, Sonya Blacker, Mardi Love, Ariellah, Tempest, & Rachael Brice. Freya dances regularly with the gothic fusion troupe "Black Silk Road" & is co-director of the cab-fusion troupe "Vagabond Bellydance"

In 2009 Freya needed a dance veil to match her gothic bellydance style, but no one made anything like this. So she began creating the Freya Tattered Veil. These veils were an instant sensation and she has since branched out and created several designs of tattered & shaped veils. In 2012 she introduced her "Ribbons Fan Veils" which again took the bellydance world by storm.

In addition to being a veil artist & silk painter Freya is also an accomplished etcher and will occasionally post a few of these prints in the galleries.
My first steps into the costuming business have been SO much fun!  To be able to see something in my mind that I would love to see a dancer wear on stage...and then create it with my own hands and actually see it in motion on a dancer is just magical! I just wish I had more time to create.  I have a marvelous art career day job, so I can't complain.  But when I get home at night I need to watch less TV and spend more time throwing silk & dyes around.  My Freya Veils business has been blossoming in ways I never even dreamed of!  Now I just need to find a way to get more feed back from dancers on what they need most in their costumes. Hmmm....

Bright and Cold

I had high hopes of finishing my newest tattered design last night so that I could take it on an amazing photo shoot tonight.  But, as is usually the case in my house, the dogs, cat & hubby all were demanding attention.  And that pile of warm bodies on the couch was too inviting not to join in.  So it's half done...and maybe finished enough for a mini photo shoot.  I'll bring a few of my veils instead.  Or maybe, just maybe, I'll just go out on what is sure to be a bright and very cold night and run around with my sexy photographer and just have fun!  Honestly the fun photographs are a better representation of my work than the formal posed on
