Childhood's End, © 1997 Diane Cassidy

 She is one of the continuing students of Foothill College's Art Department, with a love of learning that has kept her coming back for more classes for many years. Most of her recent work involves digitally reworking and collaging of photographs, as she explores a variety of the themes that run through our lives. Her work often takes one into a landscape with the familiarity of a place we've dreamt of at sometime in the past.
