BIO Hi, I am Gun Legler from Sweden. I live together with my cat Simon in a little village near Gothenburg On the outside I am old, but young inside :-) For so long I can remember, I have enjoyed expressing myself through any kind of art or craft. Until I was 40 I worked as a child psychologist and pre-school teacher, but after that I said goodbye to my profession and began studying at an art school. There I stayed for four years, mainly learning Graphic art (etching, dry needle and linoleum cut). I was a lousy oil painter, that medium did not fit me at all, watercolor I liked better. For many years I made collages of different kind, watercolor and textile. I grew up with a mother that sewed and a father that built violins, so I early fell in love with textures of many kinds. I have now abandoned making textile collages, but I realize that I work much in the same way with my computer art. I take a piece here and a piece there and try to make a whole of it. And I am madly in love with textures of all kinds, I can sit for hours just playing with different colors, textures and filters, making backgrounds just for fun (and for upcoming images). I work very much by intuition when I make an image, experimenting wildly with layers, textures, color and light. But the form is equally important, that�s what Graphic school taught me. I have seldom a clear inner image when I start creating, it is more a feeling I want to express. The process can be quite unconscious to me for a long time. The image gradually takes form, and become clearer to me. What I want with my images is to reach the feelings of the viewers, to make them look into their own inner being and respond in any way, regardless of which feeling is evoked.

Hehe from me, You see I am a morning person too, I just wanted too get the feeling those have that don't want o get up. Actually, it is 3.30 here in Sweden, very early morning that is, but I jumped up from a dream and knew exactly what I want to do today. I will fingerpaint. So now I have made wallpaper glue that is the base. the I mix it with watersluble laque for floors and acrylic tube colors, and I get a wonderful paint to use with my fingers or with big brushes. Guess I have a lot of feelings that want to come out!. I put a big plastic cover on a table or on the flor, and so the fun begins. Big papers, big movements, just having fun! Me??? well, I am only 66 but my child inside is alive and want to paint. The color get a nice semitranparent look, according to the amount of acrylic paint, and is of such good quality, not as ordinary fingerpaint, that if the result is worth savin it is no problem :-))

After being up for almost 23 hours and then only a few hours of rest, I am back in the dark of my room only lit by the monitor and trying to catch up from several days absence. But having been behind he wheel of a car the last 7.5 hours along a long stretch of road, I feel as though I can identify with the illustration.
