Aachen was known for her wonderful water lily images. Here is her Artist's Statement from her book "Water Lilies:"

"When a subject attracts my attention, I spend time to observe, feel and absorb untill it becomes part of me. As I photograph and print the image, I put myself back to the image, so it becomes mine. Then I hope my viewers would share my view and feeling when they see my work."
