About Yazzie was a pupil of Dorothy Dunn at the Santa Fe Indian School (SFIS), considered the birthplace of contemporary Native American easel painting. In annual student exhibitions of 1935, 1936, and 1937 at SFIS, critics such as Olive Rush and Frederic Douglas described Yazzie's work as "sensitive" and "outstanding", and showing "a miniature style of great beauty". While she was still a student at SFIS in 1937, her 1935 work ''A Crowd at a Navajo N'Da-a'' in tempera on paper, was exhibited in London and Paris.
