The Artistic Expressions of Meera Kurjah
Our Very own Meera Kurjah is known to most of us as a CSR at the
Chaguanas Branch, but not everyone knows that she is an enthusiastic artist
of many talents and multiple media.
Meera’s passion is art, expression and creativity which is clear as she seems
absolutely at ease with a glimmer in her eyes when she speaks of her
creations. She comes from an artistic family and has always been exposed to
various forms of expression, citing her dad as one of her earliest influences.
But clearly Meera has a natural calling as she seems to see the world in a
different way and finds channels to express the passion it ignites.
She regularly finds herself doing drawings, sketches, painting and has even
ventured into sculpting. But she really ignites the passion by being able to share
her artistry and inspire others through drama. A regular at her Temple’s Drama
Club she often performs and works with community and youth groups to bring
positive messages and help improve the community.
Meera’s passion is deep rooted, close to her heart and permeates everything she
does so that she is always excited to see how her pieces turn out and how people
will react. As such she maintains a very high level of quality and would not allow
any expression to be seen unless it meets her own very high standards. This is
where I believe the true passion shows through as not just anything will do… your vision is specific
and anything else (as good as it may be) is not your vision.
Her talents have inspired so many that it has led to her starting her own business. Even with the
worry of not wanting her hobby to become work, she found a way to
successfully combine her love for baking and her passion for art
through her own baking and cake decorating business. Meera created a
channel to bring positivity and inspiration to others as the founder and
owner of CAKES ELEGANTE where she bakes and decorates cakes,
cupcakes etc for weddings, birthdays or any special occasion. She hopes
to grow the business into a cake and baker’s supply store offering other baking and decorating
enthuiasts with the necessary tools, equipment and supplies.
Be sure to look out for Cakes Elegante on Facebook and feel free to contact Meera if you have similar
passions or for any of your baking needs.
