Andrew Marshall is an essayist, poet, freelance journalist, satirist, and watercolorist. His work has appeared in literary magazines, websites, blogs, and print. He is the managing editor of backpackinglight.com and the co-founder of backpacking routes.com. You can find more of his work at www.andrewmarshallimages.com, @andrewmarshallimages on Instagram and Facebook, and on Twitter @pawn_andrew.

As a writer, Andrew is concerned with the absurdity and grace of everyday life, the sublime and messy intersection of humankind with the natural world, and the ways that grief, hardship, and loss can be entangled with humor.

As a painter, Andrew practices what he calls “natural expressionism.” He is only concerned with rendering realistic forms to a certain degree, at which point his focus becomes exaggerating and expressing the internal and external characteristics of his subjects. His paintings are highly influenced by his early background as a documentary filmmaker.
