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.

Since I have no siblings and therfore an only child, I must admit I have never realy thought about having a brother or a sister, so this is giving me some food for thought. Thank you for sharing. egmont

Oh Gun! My heart is so full of love for you, sis. You bring tears to my eyes. I can't begin to tell you what you mean to me, but I think you have expressed it so well. Yes, we have a very special sisterhood between us. I am most grateful for the blessing of having met you and found a much cherish and dear sister. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could sit like this together. Hard to imagine I could ever have a better, more wonderful sister than you. Thank you my dear one, for this magnificent image, and dedication, one I will cherish always. Hugs & Love, sis. Suzanne

What lovely artwork and words. The internet does connect like souls, and even sisters, through the most important parts of us ... the mind, heart, and spirit. CC

Oh, Gun...what a soulful, spirit-filled image this is...and a genuine beauty at that as well. I have found myself lost within it for a good bit of time now...(oh, but that entanglement of feet together...I particularly love!) This representation exudes your extraordinary bond...unrestrained and untarnished by circumstance or geographic distance. Sometimes, in those very rare instances in our lives, it is a joy to find that there simply ARE no boundaries. And, a poignant and moving dedi within. Much joy to both of you..May blessings overflow (though it seems...they already have) Nancy~* :)

Ah, we are somewhat alike... I grew up an only child. Always dreaming of having a sister, always wishing I had a sister to confide in, share with, even argue with... I was 36 when I met my 2 sisters and 2 brothers for the first time. I don't see 1 brother and 1 sister very often but the other sister is so much a part of me that I feel like she's always been there. We email every day. Wonderful vision here and fabulous work.

Gun, I love the way you portray the closeness of sisters! It makes me want to give a call to my sister and just say hi! (that call always lasts a couple of hours. LOL)- Thanks!

You have captured the closeness of sisters beautifully here. I love the finish you have given this and the flowing lines.

Very expressive.The close concentrated faces and hugged legs, the flowing tints. Comes from the bottom of the heart. Congratulations to both of you - the artist and the model who made it happen.
