Publisher Description
Art by Two is a sweet and tangy remembrance - a daughter
Maud Guilfoyle’s ode and tribute to her mother Peregrine Higgins,
to their many-layered relationship, and to their collaboration in living
“the art spirit”. With understatement and quiet reserve, the author
recounts her childhood impressions of New York City and Fire Island,
her intimacies with the natural world which still informs her artistic
output. She recounts the push and pull of coming to terms with the
bigger-than-life parent and artistic mentor that was her mother, and
the bittersweet full circle experience of mentoring her mother through
old age and failing memory to keep the art spirit in her strong. Deedee
Agee Illustrated with 72 original artworks by Maud Guilfoyle and Peregrine Higgins
Illustrated with original art of landscapes, figure drawings, nudes, portraits, and still life.

Art by Two
Art by Two by Maud Guilfoyle is a heartwarming read about the relationship between mother, daughter, and art. Part memoir, part homage, the text weaves memories and artwork together to tell a story of two lives intertwined by love and creativity. Guilfoyle's journey moves through places and artistic mediums over time and life stages, always returning to her mother. Both women's artwork reflect a lifetime of learning and creative growth. A quick, worthwhile read for any appreciator of art. Both the words and the various artistic pieces interwoven throughout the text combine to tell a beautiful story.
