Shan Goshorn (July 3, 1957 – December 1, 2018) was an Eastern Band Cherokee artist, who lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

She found most of her artistic inspiration in her teenage years when she worked for a summer at her tribe's Qualla Arts and Crafts Mutual cooperative in Cherokee, North Carolina.

After Goshorn graduated from college, the U.S. Department of the Interior's Indian Arts and Crafts Board commissioned her to illustrate 20 Cherokee basket patterns in pen and ink.

She found inspiration upon discovering American Indian Art Magazine and artists such as Fritz Scholder (Luiseño) and T.C.

[10] Molly McGlennen writes of Goshorn's baskets that they "reveal Indigenous versions of history, which necessarily uncover – rather than enshroud -- the chasms of division between Native and non-Native peoples.

[12] This collection consisted of 36 black-and-white documentary style images of Native American people living every day life.

[13] In 2017, Goshorn created the work, Resisting the Mission: Filling the Silence, consisting of 14 cylindrical paper baskets discussing the period of U.S. history when Native children were removed from their families to attend government-run residential schools.

Goshorn belonged to the art collective, the Urban Indian Five, along with Gerald Cournoyer (Oglala Lakota), Brent Greenwood (Chickasaw/Ponca), Thomas Poolaw (Kiowa), and Holly Wilson (Delaware Nation/Cherokee).

[15] The intertribal group of artists were interested in exploring art's ability to help Native people overcome historical trauma.
