The Artists

"Living Room" by Pat Mills, Interior Designer and owner of Byford & Mills.

James Yarosh Associates Gallery is proudly the exclusive source of the fine art and framing selections featured in the 2013 Stately Homes by-the-Sea living room space. With her formidable talents, understanding of estate project complexities, and experience designing some of the area's most prestigious estate and celebrity client properties, it is no wonder that interior designer Pat Mills was awarded the large, L-shaped room to showcase her designs, As owner of the well-established Byford & Mills shop, a home furnishing store in Little Silver, New Jersey, Pat inspires her in-store design staff and clientele, providing local interior designers with a go-to place for her branded style of comfortable, well-heeled sophistication.

As part of the show-house presentation, four paintings by artist Sheba Sharrow and seven works by Vachagan Narazyan, provided by James Yarosh Associates Fine Art Gallery, are featured to create an impeccable and balanced curation of fine art, lending a reminder that the room was previously known as the “chapel” of the home along-the-water. Angels and themes of life’s journeys become part of the room’s subplot, adding greater depth and intelligent quiet to the beautiful surfaces as only great art can do— for those who choose to see it. One of the collection’s focal points is the painting “Day into Night,” a large-scale diptych of a hunched rower, resolved to the task of staying one meter ahead of time.
