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.
Proud to be featured on Check it out! My other galleries. http://gun-legler.artistwebsites.com/
I am Gun's daughter Lena (zitalena@gmail.com). I am so, so sorry to tell you all that mom passed Tuesday morning, Feb 8 2022, Swedish time. No panic, no pain, no regrets. So peaceful. I tried to get a message about this on my moms latest picture, but now I can't find it. But now I have her computer and can log in. Please email me if you want. Thanks to all. Mom really loved the community!! Her gallery will live on. I have changed the address to mine, because me and my brother really would LOVE to keep her gallery open. Love to all.

Thank you, Gun, for your 1000 and more stories! You've been, and you are such an inspiration to all of us. You were one of the first artists I met here in R'osity, and you made at once a huge impact in me; you've always been so supportive to me, and maybe for thousands of other artists here. I can't say but CONGRATULATIONS and BIG THANKS! with love & hugs. and with a simle too! :-)

THE PERFECT EXPESSION!!!!! Your images are so revealing and introspective whether you realize it or not. They definitely conjure up all kinds of emotions for me that most Art work isn't capable of doing. Your inner life is totally fascinating to me especially since it isn't a conscious expression. Please continue and produce another 1000. I hope you found a means to celebrate this event in your Hermitage. Hugs, Tutte.

Congratulations, my dear Gun. I almost missed this, and I can only blame it on my antihistamine confusion. It is a wonderful collage of memories, and stories. Your work always makes me reflect. You expand my vision and open my heart. I can't imagine not having your work passing before my eyes, my mind, and my heart. Thank you for all the moments of pleasure viewing your beautiful and inspiring work, dear Gun. Hugs and love, Suzanne x:)
