The magazine about artists and designers working close to nature.

This latest edition of Upstate Diary—themed ‘Unmistakably Organic’—explores how various artists and creatives move through feelings of hopelessness and rediscover the joy inherent in ‘the simple texture of an ordinary day.’ 

French artist Julie Hamisky leads this issue; inside, she shares her practice founded on an unwavering belief in the value of patience and framing feelings of wonder as discipline. Elsewhere, magazine mogul Deborah Needleman delves into leaving her post as editor of The New York Times Style Magazine in pursuit of basket weaving and a rural existence, Chris Hartman reflects fondly on the life and oeuvre of late American painter Barkley L. Hendricks, and self taught ceramicist Francis Palmer whisks readers to her historic Connecticut home studio in an interview with Glenn Adamson.
