For the past two months an exhibit of photographs has been on display at a studio in Las Vegas. Titled “Introspective – Retrospective”, it features 30 years of work by the visual artist Kathleen Dillon Nathan. Doing anything for that long requires passion and commitment, qualities this artist has embodied with dedication. Real professionals do what they do because it satisfies their inner needs, provides outlets for their deeply held beliefs, and, in this case, serves as a palette for her unique perspective. We all need feedback about the things we do: while most want to hear applause, the muted responses to this show are contained in what attendees wrote in a log book at the entrance – the consensus being that it moved the viewers to realize their own inner thoughts and feelings. I’ve watched as this artist chose a job she loved and made it her life. Her images will continue to inspire all who viewed them long after they come down today.
