Artist Statement
Weaving is a journey of exploration of the many materials that are available plus the ability to tell a story. Whether I am weaving on a gourd or raku, which are my canvas, I paint with the fibers I weave with all the while listening to the voices speaking to me.

Bio
It’s understandable if the term “basket” doesn’t automatically come to mind when you see one of Shirley Eichten Albrecht’s sculptural works of art. That’s because Shirley has made a name for herself – first in St. Louis, where she became intrigued with basket weaving, and now in Sedona, where she is known as “the basket lady” – reimagining her chosen medium. Her sculptures incorporate gourds, raku pottery she creates herself and antlers, all inextricably intertwined with natural fibers in ways that are new and fresh. Look closely and your mind’s eye might spy a Native American maiden or an artifact from an ancient pueblo. Shirley allows her materials to dictate form, elevating what is often considered craft to fine art.
“When I begin working with a gourd or raku, I take time to explore its shape, examine its colors and the feelings it evokes, and listen to the story it wants to tell,” says Shirley. “Only then do I begin to weave. My raku and my gourds are my canvas, and my weaving is my paint. And each finished piece takes on its own voice.”
Shirley grew up on a farm in Minnesota and graduated from St. Cloud State University with a degree in art and music. She taught in Minnesota and Texas before moving to St. Louis in 1987. Shirley cofounded a basket-weaving guild there and, when she moved to Sedona in 2001, she cofounded one in Red Rock Country. The artist has won numerous local, regional and national awards, and has been juried into prestigious shows in Arizona, Colorado, Ohio and Missouri. Her work has appeared in publications including Phoenix Home & Garden and Sedona Monthly.
