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've had many of those "Dunce" days in my life, some from computers and some from other things. I always got out, or was let out, of the corner eventually. Hang tough and remember... Your are the Master!!! :) Love your image.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Seems we can't live with them or without those pesky computers. I had a major crash in Dec and lost my favorite computer - had to purchase a new one and re-do everything - then my website got attacked. Just got to keep going. Hope you're back up and running smoothly soon. CC

Oh no, sorry to hear of your computer issues, that's certainly no fun! Thank God you've got more than one! I like this image, it's so sad and so sweet. Kind of like an old sketch or newspaper print. Really nice artwork, my friend :)

LOL, what a perfect image for the place you are in! I would go into a total panic if even one of my computers broke down! I'm sending good thoughts at your computers Dear Gun, that they heal and get well quickly, and good thoughts to you too, as you will need all the strength you have to nurse all three computers back to health!
