Reviews…
"A superb researcher and historian as well as a lovely oriental dancer"
---Delilah
"Artemis is a genuine Renaiisance woman. Singer, dancer, author, and researcher. Describing her performance is like trying to catch lightening in a bottle." ---Shimmy Chronicles
"Artemis’s knowledge never ceases to amaze me…one of the best performers I have ever seen, beyond technique and skill…a projected passion, spirit and energy as she soared over the dance floor…one could almost see the energy rising out of the earth into her dance. Bravo, bravo, Artemis!" ---Zaghareet!
