Yazz Atmore is a Denver Scholarship Foundation Alumni and Denver-based mixed media artist and muralist. After graduating from East High School, Yazz then created her own degree as a DSF Scholar at Metropolitan State University. She obtained a BA in Supporting High Risk Youth through the Arts and remained in Denver to perfect her craft.

As a community organizer, creative, and educator, Yazz mentors and creates with young artists while continuing to develop & deepen her own artistry as a collagist, muralist & floral enthusiast. Her art explores and dabbles in the themes of spirituality, ancient and ancestral wisdom, nature & afro-futurism through storytelling, collaging and the building/re-building of worlds.

The artwork "Ancestors Journey" was designed by Yazz exclusively for DSF. It seeks to embody her journey as a DSF Scholar and to represent the healing essence of community, ancestral wisdom, and the power of nature and art.
