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.

A truly excellent++++++++ piece. Looks like a wee doll caught up in a surging tide! There was a story recently how a tiny baby was found alive floating on a mattress in the water following the tsunami and was rescued. Made me think of this ..., and the ministry of angels?

You've made such a tragique, touching picture, Gun. It hurts to look at it, and at the same time the beauty in it makes me feel better. What else could art be?

Oh my god... this is fantastic Gun! This really makes me think of the fragility of the ego that can occur when it comes to opening the heart to another. It makes me think of how easily confidence can be blown away like dry leaves in the wind when confronted with the possibility that opening up the heart could actually lead to hardship as opposed to healing. Brilliant vision and design Gun, thank you for sharing this with us.

that's really good!!!

Very strange one once again! Looks like a very basic drawing, with that face that has such a strange angle and very basic lines but it's formed by the texture and the real image appears underneath it, someone with his/her head hidden in the nest of his/her arms! Very interesting and fascinating piece Gun! :)
