Visual Art – Calgary

At 25, Kalia Gounden, Founder of Kakes & Kanvas Inc. is a self taught baker and artist. Her background in criminal justice as B.A holder, left her wanting to create an enriching environment filled with positivity, passion, inspiring support, friendship and love. Kakes & Kanvas provides a space where individuals are free to create, feel and express themselves without fear of judgment, where negativity has no home. Kalia accomplishes this through public and private paint nights hosted at various establishments throughout Calgary, her commissioned works housed around the world, and her jaw dropping kakes and desserts which are edible art. Kalia’s passion to inspire through positivity, kindness and perseverance is truly contagious and genuinely makes this beautiful world a little bit sweeter.
