Art By Two by Maud Guilfoyle

Description

Some books are written; this one was lived. Art By Two is Maud Guilfoyle’s tender 2012 memoir of the two intertwined lives at its heart — her own, and that of her remarkable mother, Peregrine Higgins. Part memoir, part homage, it weaves memories and artwork together into a story of two lives bound by love and creativity.

Guilfoyle grew up in a family of artists: her mother filled the house with fairy tales, classical music, opera, and the aroma of ambitious cooking, treating each as seriously as any canvas. From childhood imagination to shared creative projects, the book traces how a mother’s gifts — wonder, discipline, joy — shaped a daughter who became an artist and teacher herself.

Sweet, warm, and quietly profound — a beautiful gift for mothers, daughters, and everyone who believes Guilfoyle’s mother Peregrine Higgins — storyteller, musician, cook — emerges as the book’s radiant center. creativity is the truest inheritance.
