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 dont know if im liking this ore than i should it's just i am noticing every detail and feel immersed myself. From left to right, right to left, top to bottom, its unbelievable. The color gradually starts off light b from the left into a wave, and then the color gets white on the spoosh, and then the bubbles gradually melt into a darker blue. Onto the girl I love the consideration in the way you put each bubble and the whole way you layed it out. speaks of the depth of your own knowledge of art. Oh and the way you created the illusion of Depth over the girls head through the use of 'water' is cool. This is REALLY a moving piece. This would make an awesome poster, in fact id like to roll it up and hit a few people over the head with it too. 'Tap*!
