Biography
Cassandra has an eclectic mix of passions – she is a change catalyst coach, historical novelist, freelance photojournalist, and artist. She has an intense passion for passion in all its guises. She believes in the power of love and creativity to transform peoples lives, making them feel refreshed, playful, inspired, adventurous, and courageous.
As fellow artist Paul Klee says – “one eye sees and the other feels” Cassandra’s creative endeavours are echoes of our culture when we are at our most happiest. Classic but fresh each time. The significance of creativity whether it is writing, photography, painting or anything that involves taking something that doesn’t exist and making it real is about the power of transformation. Sometimes all it takes is one sentence in a book, one evocative image or one sensual painting to evoke a radical reinvention of one’s life.
Created in Aotearoa, New Zealand Cassandra’s passions all embody the essence of her beliefs and speak to her soul mission: to live life to the fullest, to take risks, to be playful, to create beauty and to always have fun and to help others achieve the same.
