Kayla Buium, the street artist known as Milkbox, is an illustrator, muralist and sponsored roller skater based in Montreal. She uses bright colours and rubbery characters to spread positive and humorous messages about queerness, self-acceptance, and inclusivity. Milkbox uses narrative in her work to translate real life themes into visual stories. She loves to collaborate with brands and communities to bring big ideas to life. Whether it’s skating or making art, the driving force behind Milkbox’s work is to bring people together, spread knowledge, and uplift important community members.
In 2023 she was selected by BUMP Festival, CMLC & Cirque Du Soleil to design and paint the 2023 KOOZA mural in Calgary, Alberta titled 'Pandora's Snail'. You can read more about this special project here.

A mural that took 14 days to paint, Pandora’s Snail looks like a page from a timeless storybook you could get lost in. Rich blues and pink adorn the cerebral clowns on Kayla’s canvas, between whom sits an ancient snail. What secret’s loom inside this snail?
