Ana Zampino O’Neill has always lived at the intersection of beauty and expression. A classically trained vocalist, she studied at the Peabody Conservatory while earning her degree from Johns Hopkins University. But it was visual art—not the stage—that ultimately called to her.

After graduating, Ana joined Christie’s in New York, where she worked across departments and trained as a live auctioneer—a rare distinction that sharpened both her eye and her voice in the art world. She later earned her JD from NYU School of Law and spent years advising private collectors on acquisitions, contracts, and consignment strategy. Her first major purchase? Senza Titolo I, 1987 by Sam Francis—a piece that still hangs in the Atelier Modern gallery today.

In 2020, Ana moved to Larchmont to be closer to family, and in 2022, she and her sister, Sarah Bauer, co-founded Atelier Modern. The gallery reflects Ana’s belief that great art should be lived with—not locked away. Here, works by Warhol and Koons hang alongside original pieces by emerging artists. Every item, from sculptural ceramics to handblown glassware, is selected for both beauty and soul.

As Atelier’s in-house art advisor, Ana helps clients commission, collect, and live with pieces that feel deeply personal. Her approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and rooted in decades of expertise—from gallery curation to white-glove installation.

Sarah Bauer has always had a hand in shaping beautiful environments—both civic and personal. A Westchester native, she grew up in Briarcliff Manor and later made her home in Larchmont, drawn by the Village’s charm, walkability, and strong sense of community. Within a few short years, she had convinced her parents and sister to join her—an early sign of her talent for bringing people together around what matters.

Sarah is Mayor of Larchmont and a practicing attorney at Zampino Law LLP, the family firm she now runs alongside her sister. Her background in law, combined with years of civic leadership, brings structure and intention to Atelier Modern’s vision. She’s served on nearly every local board—from traffic to beautification.

But Sarah’s most charming contribution to the gallery may be the whimsical creatures she leaves on the shelves: her hand-crocheted “Yarnimals,” each one stitched with care and a wink of personality. Her creative life began years ago at Johns Hopkins, when her future grandmother-in-law gifted her an Erica Wilson needlepoint kit and taught her the art of stitching. What started as a gesture of love turned into a lifelong practice—and today, Sarah finds joy and calm in every loop, hook, and holiday ornament.

Like her sister Ana, she believes that a well-lived life is both artful and accessible—and that great design begins with intention.
