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.

Gun, this is so beautiful... I can't find the words... the pose is so... seductive (and hair, too) and at the same time so innocent. Thanks again for sharing these incredible visions of yours:-D

I do love that texture - very reminiscent of marks and stains in old photos, so it gives this an aged feel, as though its been around for a very long time. When you set this against the concept of "emerging" it is intriguing and fascinating.

Classically beautiful but still with a contemporary feel... I was about to suggest Penelope Cruz (the eyes are so close to hers) but Pascale got there first ;-)

It was an ad in some magazine that I scanned, so I don't know who she is.

This makes me think of a contemporary preraphaelite, beautiful use of colour & composition.

Anyway, you did her a greate favore to touch her image with your magic brush! Very few people nowadays know how and want to do this kind of real gold old painters portraits... I only wish to... :-)

I love that Penelope's pose for the perfum.. but you've added so much of grace to her. So much, that this becomes something totally different from what it was. And better. Thanx :)
