From the time she was a young girl, Topuzoglu has been noticed for her insatiable drive to create art. She is a versatile artist – painter, sculptor, photographer and graphic designer. Born in Toronto, Ontario, to traditional Greek parents, Topuzoglu’s creativity shone through at an early age. In 1988, Topuzoglu started her own company, ArtDream Studios. Graduating in 2004 from the IDEA program at Capilano University where she studied with international artists like Kiff Holland and Alan Wylie, she has been handed a new arsenal of tools with which to create. She also teaches painting, drawing and sculpture.
She also creates published workbooks for Bluepoint Leadership (written by Bluepoint) – for seminars creatively using white space, illustrations and unique approaches to fonts and word placements. Her workbooks draw the student into the concepts and ideas to enable them to find their own creativity, innovation and vision. The workbooks have been published worldwide in German, Japanese, Chinese, Portugese, Spanish and French.
Cassandra has shaped and modelled all her life to be part of ArtDreams. From a young age she showed great interest in the family business and was quickly taken under Naomi’s wing. “There are no mistakes in art”, was the first thing her mother ever told her as they begun their first lesson. As time went by Cassandra grew to understand new areas of design and quickly jumped on board with graphic design. Her outside the box mentality has assisted in the ever changing face of todays clients.
With her focus mainly on graphic work, Cassandra has begun to expand the options of ArtDreams by attending Capilano University for Interactive and Web Design. During her time there, she was able to put to good use the things learned to keep ArtDreams and their clients at the forefront of its competitors.
Vancouver, British Columbia is where Cassandra calls home and enjoys surfing the net on her Macbook Pro for the latest in music and photography.
