Corinne Whitaker ’56

1950s

Digital art piece showing a head with half a human face. The neck is made of twisted tree roots and the hair is made of tree limbs. At the bottom of the image are rolling waves.

After almost 50 years as a pioneer in digital image-making, I credit the beginning of my intellectual journey to Wellesley’s insistence on excellence and rigorous research. The outstanding faculty instilled in me a joy in learning and an excitement in discovery that characterizes my career to this day.

I embarked on a voyage into digital mindscapes as seen on giraffe.com by experimenting in digital painting, sculpture, 3D printing, and music composition, publishing 33 books of images and poetry along the way and winning two Golden Web Awards.

Thank you, Wellesley, for the auspicious start!
