Can you go into more detail? Infrared should not be very prominent even if you could see it. It might be a slightly red tone I would argue. Hot air doesn't r

  She describes the diffraction of light when hot air moves; but that light isnt visible to most and its not a color she can describe well. "Sees infrared" may not be accurate, but its the best guess we've got. Her colors are shifted and slightly wider gamut than others too, as far as we can tell. She sees some of the "UV flower patterns" but not as a stark contrast, just more pattern and depth in a flower petal than I (or a camera) can see. We have a big propane fired ceramic element heater; it lights the room for her more than it does for me. She can see the air dancing over it clearly by its own light, i have to smoke near it and have a lamp to see the same thing.

    Sounds like she sees the refraction of light through the different densities of air, aka a mirage. Artists are usually more perceptive of how light contributes to what we see.
