Alessia Silla

My name is Alessia Silla, and I am the owner of Little Picasso Art Studio, a creative space built on the belief that art has the power to bring people together, inspire confidence, and create meaningful community connections. For over 13 years, I have dedicated myself to teaching art, beginning classes from my childhood home and eventually growing into my own studio space where I now welcome children, families, and adults into a warm and inclusive creative environment.

Beyond the studio, I am also the owner of All Things Paper MTL and proudly represent the third generation working within Incotel Group, my family’s telecommunications company with over four decades of history.

Alongside my entrepreneurial journey, I have remained deeply committed to supporting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada through Team United, a community-driven initiative that has been fundraising for blood cancer research and support for over 13 years.

This cause is incredibly personal to me. My grandmother, grandfather, and sister have all been affected by blood cancer, which inspired me to begin fundraising and bringing people together through meaningful community events. What started as a small effort has grown into a movement supported by people from all over the city who participate in our annual bake sales, golf tournaments, Paint & Sip fundraisers, and community events.

Through Little Picasso Art Studio, Team United, and my businesses, I hope to continue creating spaces where creativity, compassion, and community come together to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. My goal is to continue raising awareness for blood cancers, helping fund critical research toward a cure, and supporting individuals and families as they navigate the emotional and physical challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis.
