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.

Spring may be here but we are finally having a little bit of rain considering we are over 40% short of our annual rainfall needs. As for the image Gun, I like the way she is heading into the light and away from darkness, the darkness of winter. Others may see the darkness of life and heading into the hereafter, in anyway, it is a wonderful and spirited image. Thank you for sharing. egmont

My dear, I can only tell you what the mystery is to me. I see and entrance to this heavenly place framed by the trees. The woman is beginning a transformation that becomes more fully realized with each step toward the Light. And with each step she is more aware of the increasing love that enfolds her, until she reaches the source of the light and is in the bliss of perfect love. At that point she radiates the Light she has become one with. As she enters this place she already begins that radiance. I see perfect peace and self-realization. This is an inspired and graced image, Gun. It is a beautiful and strong visual of an incredible reality. Excellent work Sis, Hugs, Suzanne

An apparition... wonderful and mystical. AT first I was irritated by the amount of mistiness but after I studied it, I realized it was perfect for the mood. Absolutely fantastic!
