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.

I am so sorry for Rebecca's illness, I imagine how it tears you up inside. I'm sorry she has to go through this and that you have to watch her suffer. I wish her healing, gun, and I wish you peace. After a long fall, this is hard for you, I know...You always do subtle and gentle things with photos, this is very, very delicate, and a testament to your love for Rebecca. Very touching as always. Much healing & hugs to both of you, and may rebecca start to get healthy once more...

This is a really sweet shot showing so much tenderness. You did nice work, Gun. I hope Rebecca recovers quickly, and without any further problems. It is difficult for a teen to be ill when they have so much energy normally. I'm sure you give her much loving moral support.

Ooooh, what a marvelous portrait of Rebecca and the new Beau. Such alovely and romantic moment. Poor dear child, I hope she recovers quickly with the help of antibiotics. Tell her she must eat lots of yougurt to replace all the good bacteria that reside in her stomach, they are the frontline of her immune system. I will keep her in my prayers.
