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.

This is wonderful and has so much feeling in it. You convey the sense of flying or moving together in the couple. There seems to be more than just attraction as they are joined. The has you style marks all over it. Beautiful, sis!

It does look like a mysterious shadow-person pulling your main person close, as if the main person were being magnetized by another's presence, and it feels to me mysterious and mystical...but as in so many of your works, what you do with your image is equally touching...you've bathed your two souls in a kind of fragile & exquisite paper, not as if it were painted on the paper, but as if it were emerging 'through' the paper; and you have more of your wonderful luminous blues that make the piece seem graced, like it's blessed from above. Another one of your transformations from mystery to light, and it's very touching and loving...Lots of hugs and deep healing your way, Gun, mark

I love the abstract. I can just imagine the thought provoking aspect of the near symmetry in images.

Wonderful! Seems that with first attraction we can never see the other person very clearly. This artwork says that to me.
