THE NEON IN NATURE SERIES, PRESENTED BY TRAVEL NEVADA

January 15 – April 6, 2026 | Orientation Room

The Neon in Nature Series features artwork by light painting photographer and animator Darren Pearson (better known as DARIUSTWIN). Created exclusively in Nevada, this exhibition captures just some of the stunning landscapes and striking night skies that you’ll find in the state when you get a little out there – all juxtaposed with DARIUSTWIN’s signature light paintings infused with and inspired by Nevada character (and characters). Museum guests will be inspired to visit the Nevada ghost towns, state parks, historical landmarks, and more that take center stage in this unique, vibrant, and whimsical exhibition. The Neon in Nature Series marks DARIUSTWIN’s first museum exhibition in the United States.

ABOUT DARIUSTWIN

Darren Pearson, known as DARIUSTWIN, is a light painting photographer and animator whose glowing creations have illuminated landscapes around the world. Using long-exposure photography and handheld lights, Darren “paints” with light in real time, creating skeletal figures, dinosaurs, aliens, and fantastical characters that exist for only a moment before disappearing into the night. His work has been featured by National Geographic, Intel, Honda, and Apple, among others.

Based in Southern California, Darren has been creating light paintings for more than a decade, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary, one exposure at a time. See more at dariustwin.com and follow @dariustwin.
