Yellowhair collects and grinds her own sand, applying it with adhesive to a surface, later sealing the granules in place.  Reportedly each composition takes anywhere from 3 months to 2 years to complete.

Since 2013 Yellowhair has received awards at the Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair.  Since 2017 she has been a part of the Santa Fe Indian Market, winning First Place as well as Best of Division for her sandpaintings during each of the years.
