Arborist to Artist

6, Feb 2010

A story about an artist, told by a writer and a photographer, all boyhood friends of mine whom I am so happy to see are using their talents to bring beautiful things into the world. Through Kevin Bouldin’s vivid words and Daniel Collin’s communicative images, I was able to catch up with an old friend [...]

The Apple Tree

17, Dec 2009

I love Christmas carols, often starting into my Christmas playlist in early October. Maybe it’s because I was born so close to Christmas, but I find these songs so rich and moving.
When I recorded my first album, Tonic, I opened it with a carol, O Come, O Come Emmanuel. Then we moved to Korea, and [...]

A Felicitous Encounter

20, Nov 2009

Today was our fourth and final day in Balti/Falesti, Moldova visiting Felicia. We’ve had an amazing time. Everything has been even better than we had imagined, and I think we were able to encourage Felicia in addition to spoiling her with some nice things. On top of that, we had two nice afternoons getting to [...]

We’re Going to Meet Felicia

9, Nov 2009

Four years ago, Adam and I saw this adorable photo of seven-year-old Felicia Stavila, and we knew we had to love her. Felicia lives in an orphanage in the little village of Falesti, Moldova. Moldova is one of the smallest and poorest countries in Europe– a tiny crescent between Romania and the Ukraine.
Moldova has an [...]

It’s a good week for Laughing Tree Lullabies! We received an in-depth review today from Amy Robbins-Wilson on her Lullaby Link blog.  I think it’s the most thorough review we’ve received yet, and we’re grateful. Amy also interviewed me about Laughing Tree, and that interview will be posted on her site on Monday.

Boutique shopping in the Chicago area

16, Oct 2009

We just had a great few weeks up in the Chicago area. We saw some good friends, had a lot of fun with my parents, and vegged out. We also visited a few great, little boutiques around the western suburbs that are now carrying Laughing Tree Lullabies, Vol. 1.
If you’re starting your Christmas shopping (hey, [...]

Our Window

7, Oct 2009

An elegant, simple idea: Our friend Youngdoo from Seoul has recently begun posting weekly photo diptychs with her friend who goes by fiftyfootshadows. Their concept is simple. Weekly, they each choose a photo, place them side-by-side and let the interesting juxtapositions and serendipities arise. I love the collaborative idea, and I love the beautiful diptychs.
