What started as a fascination and appreciation of the paintings of Andrew Wyeth (1917 - 2009) and the creative legacy of his father, artist and illustrator N. C. Wyeth (1882 - 1945), went on to become an integral part of Catherine Marie Charlton's daily existence, life, dreams, and role as a mother, after several years in which the pianist-composer sought inspiration for her music by immersing herself in the history and art of the Wyeth family, and maintaining a daily practice of "Wyeth Walks" in the scenic Pennsylvania Brandywine Valley, where Andrew Wyeth also walked every day throughout his life.

Charlton's 12th release in a 20+ year career, I Dream About This World - The Wyeth Album, embodies the creative expansion of the mind, and forms a soundtrack for introspective exploration of private thoughts, painting a musical world where the listener can escape this "busy, bustling life," as N. C. Wyeth called it 100 years ago.

To achieve her expansive vision, the neo-classical pianist known for her quietly spacious, meditative compositions has teamed with GRAMMY® Award-winning producer and engineer Phil Nicolo. Nicolo is perhaps best known for creating music in genres starkly in contrast to Charlton's, with luminaries such as Lauryn Hill and Aerosmith; however the two joined forces after discovering their mutual loves of visual art and the pastoral Brandywine Valley, and their shared passion for music that evokes deep emotional responses despite style or genre. I Dream About This World, available July 14 on Nicolo's new label Phil's Records, features collaborations with several New Age GRAMMY® Award-winners--cellist David Darling, English horn player and producer Nancy Rumbel, and producer Will Ackerman.
