Gayla Prince Wallace | an Arrowhead Gallery Artist




Gayla Prince-Wallace has been called “the most inspired artist in modern history”. Her creative expressions have assisted in inspiring and changing the lives of millions of people around the world. She is currently one of the most successful and collectable artists alive and prints of her painting “The Ten Virgins” have sold over one million copies. She has been invited to give over 500 presentations of that painting’s symbolism to groups around the United States. She then developed a slide and script presentation that has been given by thousands of presenters to millions of people worldwide. She went on to create “Come unto Me”, the only painting that contains the entire Plan of Salvation visually on one canvas. This painting has been called “the most important painting ever created” and is used as a missionary tool wherever Christianity is preached.
Gayla grew up learning the basics of design and exquisite detail from her childhood observations in the woodlands of Holladay, Utah. Filled with wonder over the dazzling seasons of nature and the simple country life, her passion for art began. As adept with a pencil as she is with a brush (she has authored scores of scripts for stage and screen), Gayla’s drawing and oil paintings reveal her superb sense of composition and beauty. Majoring in art at BYU and studying privately with several gifted and highly skilled masters, Gayla’s talents soon developed into an amazing dual ability. She not only captures on canvas an interesting and unique idea, but skillfully weaves into the visual an equally profound and fascinating story. Inspired by the wonders of nature and mankind, Gayla’s original art is varied and yet harmonious like the colors of the rainbow.
Collectors have commented about her uncanny ability to capture the essence of life in timeless expressions of paint and parable. Gayla’s art has the ability to welcome the viewer into a quiet, captivating adventure and then extends an invitation to roam. Her distinctive style has delighted collectors and art dealers world-wide and she is lovingly known among Russian artists as “America’s Botticelli”.
