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.

The room of good memories has no ceiling...but a travel bag and she walk barefoot...you drop a hint of reflexion about the torments of the brain. Philosophic... and mythic dear Gun :-)

God, I could go on and on about how awesome this is, but that is just an understatement, now, isn't it?!? I have one or two suggestions, but not on the image....mebbe a poem to go with it would be in order, it would round out the whole of the composition nicely, in my opinion! ....just a thought..... Cheers, Jesse

Oh...! Luggage too? My imagination shoots of like a bottle rocket and settles into space a star. This impresses me of course but i mean in the sense it seems like a train and everything is there changing while she is standing still waiting for the right time to get off. She knows where she is going. She is waiting still, the train is still moving showing its wonder Oops you said room, sorry sometimes i get "Carried" away. Uhm.. This side of you everyone loves thank you for sharing. Hugs
