The meaning of her paintings will vary with each viewer, as the images within her works change depending upon one’s visual perspective. Three-dimensionality allows new imagery to appear as you change position to study her work. The art of Gayle Printz stands out for its uniquely recognizable aesthetic; however, the most remarkable aspect of Printz’s work is her liberal use of color to convey abstract concepts. Unlike formally trained artists, who tend to use a specific theme, subject matter, or combination of colors across all their paintings, Printz's paintings each differ in breadth, scale, and concept. Thus, while some of her paintings use cool colors to produce a calming effect on the viewer, others combine warm and cool colors to arouse the viewer's subconscious. The diverse content in her paintings makes for an art form that all lovers of abstract art can fall in love with. Another aspect of Printz's work that sets it apart is the deliberate, yet unrestrained, movement of the brushstrokes within her paintings. Though she often blends colors to create smooth transitions, Gayle Printz impressively crafts each brushstroke, so it is visible in the final composition. This approach results in highly expressive artworks, testifying to the artistic freedom with which Printz creates her paintings.

A close examination of Printz's paintings reveals that the artist allows herself to paint freely, unrestrained by the rules that apply to traditional artistic genres. Nonetheless, some of her paintings reveal the influences of 19th Century masters, post-impressionism, modernism, and abstract expressionism.
