Catherine Marie Charlton and Wyeth

An interview with Catherine Marie Charlton about her work in music, Her recent album is Maiden Voyage, and her new album is inspired by her walks and love of Wyeth's art.
She has piano improv roots, and she discovered the photographer inside of her. She has given concerts at Brandywine River Museum of Art, on their gorgeous Steinway piano next to floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the trees and beautiful river view. She has traveled to Maine to visit the Farnsworth Museum, the Olson House (site of hundreds of Andrew Wyeth paintings), Monhegan Island (favorite site of thousands of painters over the past hundred years or more, including Jamie Wyeth),and Andrew Wyeth’s grave, an.She has spent two weeks in Wyoming at the Brush Creek Foundation for the Arts (with a landscape similar to what NC Wyeth experienced when he spent months out West painting Native Americans) - composing a Wyeth-inspired chamber work also influenced by composers Steve Reich and Jean Sibelius. She has traveled to Imaginary Road Studios in Vermont several times to record piano while overlooking a gorgeous valley of trees and working with the inspirational producer Will Ackerman (who, in an interesting life’s story actually met Andrew Wyeth and saw a painting in progress- a rare occurrence for anyone!). She has worked with the handwritten unpublished scores of composer Ann Wyeth McCoy (Andrew Wyeth’s sister) and performing and recording some of her works. And she has read countless books, visited numerous galleries, spent time at the historic properties of NC Wyeth and Andrew Wyeth’s studios in Chadds Ford, PA, and talked with many curators and writers familiar with the Wyeth family and their art.http://www.catherinemariecharlton.com/blog/
