By the early 1980s she was exploring the use of early personal computers to create designs and eventually art. In 1994, Whitaker set up the Digital Giraffe, a monthly online art journal which she edits, publishes, programs, and designs. She opened a studio-gallery in Carmel, California under the same name that year as well. In 1994, Whitaker also gave the first lecture on digital art, called “Look Ma, No Paintbrush!”, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in California. Over the 1990s, Whitaker began to help develop the fields of digital painting and digital sculpture, as the technology evolved. Whitaker has also published 26 books of digital painting and poetry.
