The next milestone after getting my studio in shape was to create a website for my artwork. That was certainly easier said than done! With a thousand page tome as my guide, I opened Dreamweaver and began to put it all together. Over to Illustrator to create a logo, into Photoshop to format the artwork, back to Dreamweaver. Trying to find a slide show application that I could afford (free) and that looked like I wanted took me through the internet feeling alot like Alice on a particularly bad day. Although there were times when I felt like I had bitten off more than I could chew, I finally was able to publish the site - www.whitemonkeyarts.com.
Why white monkey? Well, Carl Jung had a patient who recounted a dream in which a white monkey appeared. In the context of the dream, the monkey symbolized the positive qualities of childhood playfulness and was a symbol of creative experimentalism. For me, this little monkey seemed to be the perfect symbol for both my art and how I would like to live my life.

About Me
- G H Guthrie
- The lucky ones amongst us get to spend the last quarter of their lives in active contemplation: reflecting on their past deeds, good or ill, clever or foolish; granted the opportunity to place into action hopes and dreams deferred; letting go of who they thought they should have been and embracing who they have become. The lucky ones amongst us have friends and families who see the possibilties which they still harbor and who cheer them on as they take risks that their younger selves dared not take. I am one of these lucky ones.
