Beatien Yazz [AKA Little No Shirt - Jimmy Toddy] was born on the Navajo Reservation. Yazz showed promise as an artist very early. At an early age, Yazz met the Lippencotts, traders at the Wide Ruins Trading Post and they made available to him scraps of paper and other equipment so that he might practice in color.

He exhibited his work around the world and is known for his paintings of animals and people and for his children's book illustrations.
