Do you admire greatly 

another Artist? Wonder 

how in the world they 

do what they do? 

Well by embracing some 

collaboration you will see 

new personal growth

and direction, as well
as deepened friendships. 

Nancy Arthur-McGehee is 

not only my friend, but an 

incredible artist! She etches 

 glass, is a lapidary, and
a scientific illustrator.

Some time ago she informed 

me that one could paint and 

draw onto glass. Pastels, 

pencils + paint - amazing! 

Out came our pencils to 

schedule some play-dates, 

where we both got to experience the others medium.

And two very successful art 

exhibitions resulted from our 

collaboration. Above left is a 

detail of Angel, one collaborative 

piece. The show was to be of 

salt water species, but Nancy 

humored me for I wanted to 

create this image badly. I mean 

the etched stripes in the glass 

was so funk and correlated 

with the stripes of the painted 

angel! 

To the right is one of Nancy's 

incredible pieces, Crab Decanter.

Play-dates refresh and revitalize an

artist, especially if one has a home studio. 

Try it and create with a buddy!
