History
After co-creating The Shimmy Sisters, a professional Middle Eastern Dance company, Adelaide soon realized that this could not contain all that she has to offer as an artist in MANY forms. Using her belly dance career as a platform to reach fans and supporters she began to unveil her talents as a more dynamic performer and visual artist as well. Audiences quickly realized that Adelaide had much more to offer than once expected. Adelaide continued to spread further in an artistic adventure and life style not met by many. Thus, Art By Adelaide became a necessary and essential element to further her career.
