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.

Awsome shot. I love this. It is so abstract.

I know you enjoy your 2D work but I have greatly admired your camera work when you post it. This is another example of excellent camera work. This water action is technically stopped but it creates the illusion of movement anyway. Excellent job.

Wonderful photo, Gun. I share your fascination with water. It is such a metaphor for much of life. I think our bodies, which are mostly water, are drawn to water everywhere, as though it recognizes the kinship and seeks to return to its source. I look forward to enjoying anything you want to share from your new camera. Hugs!

Our philosophies are somewhat similar. In many ways, my photos are a means to an end, and I guess that's why I've been hovering between photography and 2D recently. Anyway, this is an interesting capture and it reminds me a bit of this marble I have in my bathroom. Hope you are having en underbar Sundag!-m :^)

Water is life is something youve heard surely a million times before, but to me it is like a chain of moments and I can watch them moving towards the past, every single moment is on the move, esp. the future ;o) Hugs Gun!!
