MARY ANN A green thumb and an equally green index finger guide pens and pencils artfully cultivating traditional and spontaneous gardens, flowerbeds and borders, shrubs, trees, herbs and the indispensable associated pruning shears, watering hoses, fountains, plant pots of all shapes and sizes, wooden and wrought iron benches, little doors opening onto inviting pathways, the humming of insects and the chirping of the birds. Inside and outside blend together, aspiring to create unique effects of trompe l’oeil as the light of sunset falls on the patch of lavender in the garden, filters through the window and falls on a composition of little plants carefully lined up on the walls of the house. With Mary Ann, Julia Binfield offers us a luxuriant ceramics collection: spring, summer, fall, winter.
