She was an invited artist to the National Museum of the American Indian at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.

Where she even gave demonstrations on making Navajo pottery. Lorraine's work is considered very important and highly collectible! Born Lorraine Yazzie in 1955 on the Navajo Nation, and grew up near Kayenta Teec Nos Pas. Her mother was a traditional herbalist and her father was a respected Navajo medicine man. She was not only influenced by Rose Williams (considered to be one of the greatest Navajo Potters), but she married Rose's son, George. You can see the intimate training and effect that being next to Rose had on Lorraine in all of her artwork.

In fact, she still fires all of her pots outside and upside down for 3 hours and keeps her fire hot by using an abundance of wood. National Museum of the American Indian at the Smithsonian Institute. Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff.
