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 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.

Gorgeous kids! The little girl on the right looks almost exactly like my little cousin, who I plan to post some photos of sometime next month after a trip home. You'll have to watch for them; she bears such a striking resemblance!!

Precious in every way. Children brighten ones life, ones heart. Photograph help secure memories. Hope things will improve for you, I can understand the pain.

Even though the gap is 10 years (a LOT for a child!) I see them all so easily. Emma is so obvious, and I'm sure I remember Rebecca too. I only ever saw the one shot of Isac, yeah, but I still see the similarity here very much. Maybe if you take photos outdoors you'll be able to get more of him without having to use Flash? Thanks for sharing anyway, thanks for the email and hope you get better soon hugs

The red and white in the picture is a wonderfully strong color combination. These small people are very cute... I am jealous over tiny Isaac because he has my hairstyle on a cuter face!

I am so happy to see you sharing this trip with us Gun... I really have missed you so! This really is a wonderful picture to view, especially since seeing so many of your recent portraits of these lovely young ladies. It never ceases to amaze me how similar the eyes of our children never seem to change with age... or maybe that is just my own perception lol. Once again, thank you for sharing this with us Gun. I loved it!
