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.

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.

Interesting pictorial composition.

Beautifully done, Gun. One of my favorite places. She looks to be struggling a bit against the sea instead of relaxing into it and moving with the currents. I can feel the allure and the warmth of the water.

It looks like a beautiful flow of form and color. We are, after all, mostly water. Merging with the relaxing wonder of the sea. I can almost feel the sands shifting under my feet.

your sea almost looks like a series of silks or taffetas, it has the quality of rich fabric; it also looks like a rich mint syrup, like she's floating in a sumptuous sweet; and then it's like a rich gown. It's a symphony of deep blue-greens, and she seems to be covering herself with the water as if it were a quilt. A mysterious quiet caress; and having seen Amber's stock, it's amazing how you transformed her twirling images into a primal image of emergence and submergence. Mysterious and beautiful. More bows.
