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.

The posturing is great... one is relaxed, aware and unconcerned; the other seems to be locked and loaded. :-) Fun shot.

Cats rule Gun. One of mine chased a huge German Shepherd off our property. Another one would sit on the back of a chair and take swipes at the dog when he walked by. They have CLAWS! and they HURT! Great shot. Hugs, Tutte

I can feel the nervous tension. Somebody just wants to play, while the other one is going to keep an eye on this strange animal. "What is that?" Gun, this is a priceless capture. Thanks for sharing this, I have a big smile on my face. Hugs and love, sis. Suzanne

The cat, ever watchfull, guarding her domain. Not at all flustered, quiet determination, calm, relaxed, but ready to spring if needed. The dog, wondering what to do? Will it play? Is it friendly? Should I go in? Should I wait to be invited? Oh Gun, what a great capture!

It is always a treasure to be able to capture a moment like this. I have a photo of when I brought home a kitten as a present to my wife and introduced it to Morgan, our other cat who was about four at the time. I managed to capture the expression on Morgan's face when he first saw the kitten and it was priceless!
