When working at the torch, she claims "the world becomes the fluid glass right in front of me, all else is lost." She has taken multiple lampworking classes, in Canada and the USA, with many different teachers. Aileen's goal in lampwork is "to make someone smile" - something she enjoys immensely in all forms.

Description: Photographic Art transcends beyond a study of the objects that appear in the lens, and stretches the eye to capture the sense of light and space surrounding those objects. Using the artistic concept of “Windows”, Heather Diane’s works are framed in aged wood designed as a window frame allowing the viewer to experience the outdoors from within. The beauty and light portrayed in her art extend into the room as if through a window. This approach touches the senses of the viewer, creating the impression of being drawn into the scene. Heather Diane strives for authenticity in her work by staying as true as possible to her original images, as they are seen with the naked eye.
