Yá’át’ééh I’m Janet Marie Yazzie, Diné Acrylic Painter. Born and raised on the Navajo Nation. From Lower Greasewood Az. I’m Kinłichii’nii (RedHouse) and Ma’ii deeshgiizhnii (Coyotepass). I’m a Contemporary, Navajo tradional, Scenery painter. My Work brings out Wonderful Childhood Memories and Navajo traditions, scenery of the Navajo Nation. My Grandma played a tremendous part in my life teaching the values of life. Like weaving, planting, herding sheep and hauling water. Using those memories and bring them to life with my bright color palette. Inspired by life & Beauty around me, sharing with others makes me who I am. Inspiration and inspiring. Ahéhee!
