Country where you live:

City where you live:

Statement : 

Listen to the whispers of your imagination...

Because I believe the importance of my artwork is based upon the emotion it evokes, I want to give you the uninterrupted freedom to experience the world in unanticipated ways. Using color, flow, three-dimensionality, and distinct brushwork as tools of expression, I try to create paintings that transcend the familiar. My work is known for drawing you, the viewer, into the painting and inviting you to assign personal meaning and universal context through your imagination and emotional memory.  Look closely, and you may even notice a magical quality to my artworks. My paintings are known to somehow change depending upon the angle at which you gaze. As with life, the meaning in my work depends upon the way you look at it.  

For me, creating these works of art during the pandemic helped bring lightness and beauty back into a world that was interrupted. Now, by encouraging each of you to use your imagination as the lens through which to find meaning in my work, I am able to share that beauty with anyone open to embarking upon this subconscious journey.

Gayle's paintings have been lauded by critics and collectors of Abstract Art, Abstract Expressionism, Art-Resilience, Art Informel, and Tachisme. Her signature dripping techniques are controlled, confident, and not easily replicated. Every stroke or dab is placed with intention. There is great meaning in her artwork, but Gayle Printz will neither define that meaning nor intrude on the viewer’s personal interpretation.
