Commissioned illustrations for Womankind magazine - Issue 15: FEB-APR 2018
Watercolor on paper.
Womankind magazine is an international print newsstand magazine for women on art and culture. Womankind is published in Australia, distributed in 26 countries.
Womankind represents a new era for women: Womankind is an advertising-free women’s magazine on self, identity and meaning in today’s society. Womankind magazine features the top journalists, authors and artists in a 132 page, perfect-bound magazine – offering a signature mix of reporting and commentary on culture, creativity, philosophy, nature and ways to live a more fulfilling life. Womankind’s aim is to introduce ideas that challenge contemporary thought and conditioning. Are our thoughts and aspirations truly ours?
Each issue is dedicated to a country. Womankind interviews three everyday women on their life. I was provided with basic photographs of the women to create their portraits.
Issue 15 is on Tibet. I included Tibetan traditional Tangka art and Asian traditional patterns as their backgrounds to emphasize the folks cultural background.
