This exquisite two-panel room divider is a masterwork by Yavanne C. Jaramillo, a Taos-based artist celebrated for her innovative approach to metalwork. Signed "Y.C. Jaramillo," this piece was originally acquired from the prestigious Santa Fe Indian Market, a renowned showcase of Native American art and craftsmanship.

Crafted from patinated copper and framed in hand-hammered steel, this divider harmonizes the rugged beauty of industrial materials with a refined artistic vision. The copper panels exhibit stunning variations in color—rich earthy tones of bronze, green, and rust—showcasing Jaramillo’s unique ability to harness the natural characteristics of metal. Adjustable angles allow for versatile positioning, making it both a functional and decorative centerpiece for contemporary or rustic interiors.

Jaramillo’s background as a professional welder and her dedication to Native American art are evident in the craftsmanship and attention to detail in this one-of-a-kind piece. The hammered steel frame offers durability, while the patina on the copper panels adds organic depth and texture, ensuring this room divider is as much a work of art as it is a practical furnishing.
