I’d like to thank everyone who made this project possible. I cannot write such an exhaustive list, but I’d like to say thank you to the following people:
Thank you to everyone who lent me the artwork Katie gifted you so I could photograph it. I owe the possibility of this project to my mother, Kristen, who collected and stored the originals. Thank you to my father, Mark, for collaborating with me on website development. Thank you to my Grammy, Marie Holt, for her encouragement and for allowing me to photograph her drawings. Thank you to my Auntie Carol; Uncle James; and cousins, Lauryn, Caroline, and Lily for the same. Thank you to my Grandma, Eleanor Donovan, for her artworks, as well. Thank you to my whole family for helping me through everything.
Thank you to my teachers Señor Stephen Marchand Fernández, Dr. Celene Ibrahim, and Dr. Sandra Kelly from the Groton School for their kindness and suggestions. Thank you to Professor Jacqueline Jung for her insight and for helping me direct the project toward something feasible. Thank you to Professor Rachelle Dang for her kind words and analysis of Katie’s work. Thank you to Professor Frances Conlin for teaching me ASL and for hosting the Deaf Culture Open House event during which I launched this website.
Thank you to Emma Beard, Christopher Yapp, and Nicolas Rocca for sending me their artworks and for sharing their friendship through this process.
Thank you, viewers and readers, for learning about Katie and enjoying her artworks.
