Breathe magazine cover illustration, issue 12

  • Mia Underwood

I was commissioned by The GMC Group to illustrate their BREATHE magazine cover, Spring April 2018 issue. They left it an open brief. For this illustration I wanted to imagine a girl or woman getting away from a chaotic city environment and escaping to her own private sanctuary. With a burst of colour to show Spring has arrived, giving us a new lease of life and connection to nature. The landscape I kept quite abstract to represent the rhythm of our heartbeat. With the tree as our lungs representing the breathe of air that brings you sense of calm, peace and mindfulness. The Breathe magazine is sold in many shops across the world including: Barnes & Noble, WHSmiths, Tesco, Sainsbury's, M&S and more. Or you can read it online.
