Portrait of a Photographer

Heather Diane Rule is one of many talented photographers on the Sunshine Coast.  Heather uses the laws of physics and aesthetics to create the impression that the view is looking through a mirror. She began her career in 2008 when she moved the Sunshine Coast from Ontario.  She is a purist at heart, using perspective and composition to express her emotions in her artwork as opposed to photo shopping a captured image.  Heather's philosophy about her work is inspired by the natural beauty of her home in Pender Harbour.  

Her photographs are framed in aged, recycled wooden frames, giving the observer the feeling that they are looking out a rustic cabin window.  

Heather Diane explored light and space in her “Reflections” collection.  She focuses on light reflecting on water.  Two of her pieces were chosen by jury to be included in a one month display in North Vancouver Cityscapes Art Space Gallery in 2009.

Art is a family affair for Heather Diane; her father, John Adams, pioneered the commercial art program at Humber College.

Heather Diane works to show her unique vision of and appreciation for the visual complexities that we often overlook in our everyday life.  Her keen eyes look for delicate patterns, her childlike wonder of the natural world is evident in the spiritual quality the photos have, each one capturing a separate emotion.
