Storyline
“As I was weaving the front woven area, when I started weaving the red I immediately thought of a sunset. It reminded me of the comment form photographers as they capture the “Sweet Light” of the day. This reminds me of just that. Subtle colors with the pop of red.” - Shirley Eichten Albrecht

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.Shirley allows her materials to dictate form, elevating what is often considered craft to fine art.
Shirley has won numerous local, regional and national awards, and has been juried into prestigious shows in Arizona, Colorado, Ohio, California and Missouri. Her work has appeared in publications including Phoenix Home & Garden.
