Backyard in Paraguay, 2024

I began explorations at age three in the wooded ravine that was my backyard in Seattle. I also began a lifelong writing habit. Backyard expanded to include our planet, of which I have barely, but solidly, scratched the surface.

For the past several years I’ve lived mostly in Mexico, Paraguay, Chile, and Guatemala.
