“It’s about going outdoors and taking care of yourself by listening, seeing or hearing different things.'
Drawing deeply from her Diné lineage, Yazzie examines the many facets and complexities found in Indigenous cultures, traditions and lived experiences, and she has traveled extensively to share her art practices and teachings with Indigenous peoples worldwide.
“At times when I was a kid, I hated sitting in quiet and just listening to flies and distant airplanes. I would look up and think, ‘Where are they going?’ and, ‘I wish I was going,’” Yazzie recalls. “And then as I got older, I’d be on a plane and look back down and think of home. I’d remember those times with my grandmother, just sitting there while she’s working on something with yarn or sewing, and I’d miss the sound of flies, the quietness and the time with her.
Yazzie’s passion for printmaking began when she was fifteen, after she left home to go to a Quaker boarding school outside of Philadelphia. There she took her first formal art classes, quickly discovering her interest in screen printing, etching and ink work. After spending a year living in Mexico after high school, she returned to Arizona to attend Arizona State University — one of the top printmaking schools in the country — and received a BA in studio arts.
She then spent a year as a visiting artist at the University of Arizona in Tucson and became a professor for that school's art department for six years. There she met her current husband, Clark Barker; they moved to Colorado when Yazzie was offered a tenure position at her alma mater, CU Boulder, where she continues to teach today.And now Colorado feels like home.
