About Erin Bassett Artistry

Erin Bassett is an award winning textile artist based in Fort Lauderdale, FL. An exhibiting artist since 2002 after graduating from the UF with a BFA in Creative Photography. Erin continued her studies at the Savannah College of Art + Design, where she received her MFA in Fibers in 2012 after falling in love with fabrics. She started Erin Bassett Artistry in 2015. Her accessories line was inspired by her mother Sherry, who suffers from Alzheimer’s Disease. In her honor, Erin donates her time and part of the profits to research. Erin designs, sculpts, and creates artistic wall art, wearable art accessories, and site-specific installations that are fascinating, unexpected, and original. “My artwork is a magical landscape of shapes that invites the eye to investigate what it’s seeing. I combine ancient techniques like Shibori with silk, a material that was discovered and cultivated by women, or new materials like Malai made from recycled coconut husks, to create my wearable Works of Art.” Read their story
