In the late 80's the artist Sarah Baker and Bill May competed as synchronized swimmers nationally which led to mutual respect and friendship. By 1999, Bill May was the United States National Champion in all synchronsized swimming events and still holds this position today. However, men are currently excluded from competing in Olympic synchronized swimming events. The world may never know if Bill May could achieve his ultimate goal of an Olympic gold medal. Inspired by his poignant story and struggle for recognition, in this portrait Sarah Baker evokes Bill May's tale.
