ABOUT THE REDHEADED NOMAD

 

THE REDHEADED NOMAD

The Redheaded Nomad was born from my adventures. I’m a plant-powered artist and adventurer in love with mountains and wild places. My favorite adventures are by foot, rope, and bicycle; they push the boundaries of my fears, and draw me closer to my primal animal roots in this big beautiful world.
