Upstate Now: Art, Design, and Rural Life in the Hudson Valley and Catskills by Michel Arnaud and Jane Creech is an immersive photographic exploration of the vibrant creative community thriving in New York's historic northern regions. Moving beyond standard design books that focus exclusively on residential interiors, this 288-page coffee table volume takes a wide-angle look at the modern demographic shifts re-shaping rural life. It documents the personal stories and domestic spaces of long-time locals, former city dwellers, and entrepreneurs across four curated sections: Place, Art, Design, and Food, Farms, and Flowers.
Accompanied by Arnaud's luminous, natural-light photography, readers are treated to custom profiles of distinctive area institutions like the Art Omi center, the Shaker Settlement, local distilleries, and landmark architectural retreats. Ultimately, this sophisticated title functions as a captivating visual meditation on how community, creative expression, and a deep appreciation for regional resources can redefine country living in the present day.
