I began making this series in 2013. The artworks in this series are inspired by Barton Springs and Deep Eddy, two of my favorite places to swim in Austin, when the temperatures are near intolerable. Both places to me are magical.

In summer, 2012 I made collage illustrations to accompany a children's song called Blue by Austin singer Laura Freeman. The words to the song Blue have beautiful imagery. I enjoyed creating the illustrations as well as making a video with these illustrations.
