“Working with Gayle Wheatley on story illustrations for Whole Life Times was an absolute pleasure. Gayle has the ability to take the kernel of a story idea and flesh it out in an image that not only complements, but enhances the story. A true collaborator, she was able to infuse my verbal suggestions of what the illustration might express with whimsical, imaginative ideas of her own. Her work was professional, creative and spot on.”

—Abigail Lewis, former Editor in Chief, Whole Life Times


“Gayle is one of the most creative and deadline savvy artists I have worked with. Given the direction, Gayle seamlessly creates an illustration that usually needs little or no redesigning. However, if changes are necessary, Gayle is quick to change gears with a positive attitude. She is every editor's dream illustrator!”

—Sherra Meyers, Editor in Chief, Southern Bride Magazine


“My husband and I hired Gayle to do an illustration for our wedding invitation. We didn't have a clear idea of what we were looking for, but knew that we wanted it to be playful as well as specific to our wedding site. Gayle produced some lovely sketches in a very short amount of time, and came up with a fun design that captured the essence of our celebration perfectly. Our cards actually arrived a few weeks early, and were a big hit with our family and friends. Gayle’s professionalism, creativity, and ability to work with time constraints made her a pleasure to work with. We are both such big fans of Gayle's style that we have since come to own several of her paintings, which adorn our walls and always draw enthusiastic praise from visitors to our home.”
