Since I started following her work a couple of years ago, I’ve gotten to know more about her life as an artist. While she was working on the book, I was catching the glimpse of her work on her Instagram feed and grew very curious about her path as a swimmer. She has swum competitively for many years with very impressive achievements I might add! In this book, Lisa shares in depth about her passion for swimming and her love of being in the water. Lisa fell in love with swimming as a child and has been a lifelong avid swimmer herself. I’m so honored to be contributing this review for her latest book The Joy of Swimmingtoday! It’s due to be released a week from today on April 19 from Chronicle Books. She’s one of my art heroes not just because her art is so amazingly beautiful but also her way of being in the world – hardworking, honest, compassionate, and always challenging herself creatively – resonates with me so deeply. Lisa Congdon is an artist, illustrator, and an author I admire SO much.
