Natascha Demner
Where the Light Shifts, So Does the View

Natascha grew up on the edge of the woods in Vienna and moved to New York City in the early 2000s to build her jewelry business. After more than a decade in Manhattan, life led her upstate to Sullivan County, a move she describes as a “goosebump moment.” In 2020, a breast cancer diagnosis changed everything. Through that “painfully beautiful” time, she found strength in family, friends, and nature.

Natane Boudreau is not just
meditating on a mountain.

The supermodel, actor, and producer left her West Village apartment for a fulltime life in Woodstock. From her earliest fashion campaigns to walking alongside Kate Moss, she’s lived the front row of fashion.

Taylor Foster: Made in Heaven

Taylor Foster has moved through many worlds: first Miami, then New York City, and now the great expanse of Upstate New York. She began with pastry, slipped into modeling, and later built a small café called Heaven, a gathering place as much as a business. Today she lives in a cabin, where her attention has turned to holistic skincare.
