Description
Martha's Vineyard. Martha's Vineyard is an island located south of Cape Cod in Massachusetts, known for being an affluent summer colony. Often called just "The Vineyard," the island has a land area of 100 square miles.
Martha's Vineyard is primarily known as a summer colony, and is accessible only by boat and air.
----------
The Vineyard was also home to one of the earliest known deaf communities in the United States; consequently, a special sign language, Martha's Vineyard Sign Language (MVSL), developed on the island. The last deaf person born into the island's sign language tradition, Katie West, died in 1952, but a few elderly residents were able to recall MVSL as recently as the 1980s when research into the language began.

Through her innovative fine art photography, Kim is able to enhance the world as she sees it, creating memorable and unique images. She is endlessly inspired by the nature around her and is especially influenced by flowers, scenery, and wildlife.
