MEGAN BERNER
GOOD MORNING ARTIST BOOK
I photographed the sunrise out of my window for almost 8 years, until September 2019, when the last image was made. The series naturally ended when I moved out of my apartment at the Riverside Artist Lofts last year. I miss sharing these semi-daily images with the (virtual) world and wanted to compile them in a place where they can be seen together and continued to be enjoyed outside of the fleeting social media realm.
This artist's book has over 500 photographs of the Nevada sunrise from Megan’s Instagram posts. Michael Branch, a local Nevada writer and environmentalist, wrote the foreword to the book. The book was printed at Container Corps in Portland, Oregon, in a limited edition of 200.
Megan Berner has a few more copies of her book Good Morning available here.

JEAN BRENNAN
In October Jean Brennan exhibited her work as part of ’Soon is Now’ at Long Dock Park, Beacon NY.
SOON IS NOW is an annual immersive day of climate change and eco themed live performance and art in Scenic Hudson’s Long Dock Park, a former industrial site and brownfield transformed by Reed Hilderbrand Landscape Architects, the Scenic Hudson Land Trust, the city of Beacon, and many others, into an ecologically sustainable park on the Hudson River in Beacon, NY. This site is on the unceded land of the Wappinger, in a region with a vital history of environmentalism rooted in Scenic Hudson’s fight to save Storm King Mountain from industry and Pete Seeger’s fight for an unpolluted Hudson River.
SET ON THE HUDSON RIVER
Based on the belief that art can reach the hearts and minds of audiences on this most urgent and overwhelming challenge of our time, SOON IS NOW invites the public into this space of evocative performance and art to inspire deeper awareness of climate change and its impacts.

GALEN BROWN
Galen Brown has a new series of smallest waves in the exhibition titled "Between Earth & Sky: Exploring the Great Basin through the Eyes of Northern Nevada Artists" taking place at Nevada Humanities gallery in Las Vegas.
Curated by Rossitza Todorova, this is a group exhibition that celebrates the unique high desert. Through painting, photography, sculpture, and mixed media, thirteen artists capture different aspects of the landscape, revealing their perspectives on its expanse, fragmentation, and distinct vantage points. Featured artists include Galen Brown, Grace Davis, Gerald Lee Franzen, Ahren Hertel, Scott Hinton, Asa Kennedy, Kirsten Mashinter, Melissa Melero-Moose, Elaine Parks, Austin Pratt, Gail Rappa, Rachel Stiff, and Sidne Teske. Each artist brings their unique approach and medium to explore the complexity of the Great Basin landscape, inviting viewers to experience the region in a new way.
Registration for the Curator’s Talk is required. RSVP here. Thursday, January 11, 2024 · 6 - 7pm PST
The exhibition is on display from November 30, 2023 — January 24, 2024, at the Nevada Humanities Program Gallery, 1017 South 1st Street, #190, in Las Vegas. The exhibition is open to the public for viewing by appointment only Tuesdays through Thursdays from 1 to 4 pm and until 9 pm the first Friday of the month for First Friday events. Contact Bobbie Ann Howell at bahowell@nevadahumanities.org or 702-800-4670 to make a viewing appointment.
Galen Brown's drawings capture the intricate textures of our complicated environment with obsessive mark-making. Through layers of black lines, his work evokes the waves of Lake Tahoe. While Brown invites us to contemplate the natural flow of water, he explores the physicality and repetitive insistence of human-made marks. The results are mesmerizing meditations on the intersection of nature and human intervention, inviting us to reflect on our environmental impact.
Installation view of Galen Brown’s latest work, smallest wave drawings. Each drawing 4” x 3” x 1.5” set of 9. Colored pencil on museum board mounted on aluminum with wood rear frame. Inquires hello@melhopgallery.com
