Cheers to Another Summer of Colors!
BEE KIND
We're thrilled to unveil the winning design for our annual "Summer Colors" beer contest! Congratulations to Laura Villa Henao, whose vibrant artwork ‘BEE KIND' will grace the label of this limited edition Watermelon Ale, brewed in collaboration with Lithology Brewing Co.
Launching June 15th at Lithology Brewing Co., each purchase of Summer Colors helps support the Huntington Arts Council's mission to enrich the lives of Long Islanders through art and culture.
Join us in raising a glass to creativity, community, and the refreshing taste of summer!
Enjoying each of the seasons brings with it great messages. Nature has always shown us how to be inclusive, respecting diversity, cohabiting with different species, teaching us values such as empathy, resilience, the beginning and the end of a cycle. Bees are one of the most important living beings on the planet and, in particular, their behavior continues to show us alternatives for care, teamwork, discipline and adventure. This has been one of the last analogies with nature that I have been implementing in my art to share messages that are simply there, in front of our eyes. Enjoy the present, be loving, be sweet with your words. Almost almost, being like the bee, the community is everything but it starts with the individual.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Hello, I’m Laura Villana, Colombian, Graphic Designer and Master in Aesthetics and Creation from the Technological University of Pereira. I work as an illustrator and designer of editorial media: digital, printed and independent. Nature and the environment have been the first references and along with it, different feminine archetypes that tell stories of fantasy and mystery and a few other self-referential ones. Five years ago I began the path of exploration in large format and I have been able to go from paper to the wall, in this transition I have found other possibilities to approach different techniques and forms of expression, resulting in new methods of free and daily imprint, to Tell people how I live and see the world around me.
