“Genevieve Shirley lives in Kinlichee, near Ganado, Arizona. Her rugs contain recognizable Ganado Red traits—deep red with gray, brown, black and white; a large central, stepped diamond; and many hooked filler motifs. Each rug is identifiable as a ‘Ganado,’ but is also this individual artist’s expression of her regional style.” —Ann Hedlund
