​

Everett H. Scott

After Princeton, Everett moved to New York, where he enrolled in the Columbia University Graduate Architecture School program in Historic Preservation. Still, the lure of making photographs was strong, leading him to partner with author William Howard Adams on two histories of landscape and garden design; Nature Perfected, gardens through history, published by The Abbeville Press, and Grounds for Change, major gardens of the twentieth century, published by The Bulfinch Press. This exposure to many of the world's most beautiful gardens – “the slowest art” – engendered in Everett an abiding love for plants and garden environments, leading him to create the Potager at Penrose Bungalow, a small (but prize-winning) garden in Bucks County, PA.  Everett has taught in both public and private schools in New York. He continues to make photographs of his garden, as well as oil paintings, scenes of the people and places in his life. Everett’s life has been immeasurably enhanced by the stewardship of three Irish Terriers, Arfie, Jasper, and Druid.

Designing, writing, and analyzing for the product design and luxury businesses supported Ms. Wesson after Princeton in New York, Paris (26 years) and now Cambridge where she reigns over a shop that concentrates on antique Japanese woodblock prints, textiles, and second-hand fancy schmatte. Pamela’s great contribution to creative society was as Prez and chief champagne-pourer of the PAA of France for two decades.
