Shan Goshorn Biography

Shan Goshorn is one of the most popular and richest Artist who was born on July 3, 1957 in Baltimore, Maryland, United States.

Shan Goshorn (July 3, 1957 – December 1, 2018) was an Eastern Band Cherokee artist, who lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Her multi-media artwork expresses human rights issues, especially those that affect Native American people today. Goshorn used different media to convey her message, including woven paper baskets, silversmithing, painting, and photography. She is best known for her baskets with Cherokee designs woven with archival paper reproductions of documents, maps, treaties, photographs and other materials that convey both the challenges and triumphs that Native Americans have experienced in the past and are still experiencing today.

Goshorn attended the Cleveland Institute of Art in Ohio because of their silversmithing department. She was the only Native American student and did not find support in exploring Native American customary arts. Goshorn left the Cleveland Institute of Art and went to the Atlanta College of Art where she finished her Bachelor of Fine Arts. She found inspiration upon discovering American Indian Art Magazine and artists such as Fritz Scholder and T.C. Cannon. After these discoveries, Goshorn moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1981 to start her career.
