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.

Definitely belongs on a gallery wall. So full of different chords hitting different people when viewing. "In Awe" is a perfect title for this wonderful work. Your insight and vision is awake and working quite well, I see!!!

Remarkable work - my first reaction was torn paper with many layers of translucent oil paint. I'll stick with a digital WoW.

Excellent work Gun :), Not been around here for a while now and looks like i've missed quite a few pieces by you. As always I am amazed by the powerful moods and atmospheres that your work produces and have to say that this is probably the most powerful yet. The colours and lighting are so strong and I love the suggestion of mountains on the horizon created by the subtle shapes.
