Girl Interupted Collage

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. Energetic and brightly colored forms and designs are the work of this artist, who is known for her limitless searches for new ways to re-invent herself. In 1996, 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. A published artist, Topuzoglu has created works for both public and private collections. She also teaches painting, drawing and sculpture. “Everyone has the ability to find art within themselves. I don’t want them to draw what they see but to draw how they feel, all the while finding their own language of art,’ Topuzoglu said. She also creates published workbooks 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. Her love for what she does -- teaching others to find themselves in art, constantly finding new answers to old questions and the never ending rush of reinventing herself: gives her the unique style that is Topuzoglu.
