Canvas is the fullfillment of a dream for husband and wife owners Chris and Anna Gatti.

Chris met Anna at the Culinary Institute of America in New York. After graduation Anna and Chris continued to learn and grow as Chefs. Anna has worked as a Pastry Chef with Marietta's Gabriel's Desserts and Atlanta's Canoe. She worked as the Executive Chef of the Albemarle Inn, an Asheville, North Carolina landmark.

Chris has worked as the Executive Chef of Horizons Restaurant in Asheville's Grove Park Inn. The restaurant is rated AAA 4 Diamond and earned a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence. Chris last worked as Executive Chef for Proof of the Pudding at the Georgia Convention Center. As Executive Chef he was responsible for providing meals for groups as small as 10 and as large as 10,000.

With Canvas the couple now has the opportunity to own their own restaurant and to work together. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual. Chris runs the kitchen creating a menu of gourmet sandwiches and salads. Anna runs the bakery each day creating a wide variety of decadent treats and cakes from scratch.
