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.

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.

Even "Time" is crumbling down.So everything is relative? Well, as long as you keep wondering us with your beautifull pictures, Time has become of no importance.

Just love your words and the image. Both speak from the heart.Yes, in a lifetime, if we live long enough we get to be many people, and as we age we can look back and wonder who we were. The artist in you never grows older ... only more curious. My Aunt Athena is 90 and still creates her art every day. It has kept her spirit young.:o) Carol

In a way, we are all victims of time, but a wonderful product of change too. Your image and words are brilliant, reminding one not only of the beauty of past and future but the marvelous transformation that we take. Placing a clock of sorts atop this splendid capture of your toddler-self, with the head at XII and the heart in the clock-face's marked center is outstanding. Thank you Gun.

I love your poem. And I can see the little girl in you, she shines through your work! Perhaps no single cell remains in you of her, but she hasn't left you!
