About Us

Bella Mosaica is an OPEN STUDIO glass mosaic art studio and art school in Garden City, Idaho where you can explore your inner artist. All ages and artistic abilities are welcome. Bring your creativity into our fun destination location, where you can play with glass and grout.

We are a family of four. Three Solito women (mom and twin daughters) and one man (dad). In the fall of 2019, while traveling in McCall, Idaho, we stumbled upon a small mosaic studio that was at the back of a retail store on Payette Lake. After inquiring about a sign posted "Mosaic Studio Closing Soon", we decided to purchase the inventory from the current owners. Our family wanted to bring mosaic art to the Treasure Valley by opening a glass mosaic studio in Garden City, Idaho. The four of us have worked to make our dream come true - to open a creative space for people of all ages to enjoy. We wanted to provide the space for all artists, new artists, families, daycares, art students, church youth groups, senior groups, and all people of the community.  Our studio is a positive, uplifting, safe, creative space where we host events and classes by appointment.

The studio proudly serves the communities of Treasure Valley including Garden City, Eagle, Meridian, Star, Middleton, Boise, Nampa, Caldwell, Kuna, Mountain Home
as well as Donnelly, Cascade and McCall. We are proud to say we have visitors travel from Oregon to create in our studio!

Our history

We began this journey in September of 2019 when we met two fabulous ladies in McCall. Judy and Betsy own a store in McCall, ID on the beautiful Payette Lake. Their store is called 44 Degrees North. If you have ever been in there to buy from their inventory of awesome clothing, local artistry, and local items, you would have noticed the glass mosaic studio at the back of the store. Those ladies operated the studio for 9 years and decided in October 2019 to close the studio portion, giving them more time for retail. We, as a family, decided to buy their mosaic glass studio inventory and continue adding to our lifelong creativity. We have Judy and Betsy to thank for starting us on this dream of opening a mosaic studio in our hometown.  We are happy to keep up the tradition of giving artists, families, friends, couples, and kids of all ages a creative space to play. Visit us soon at our location across the street from Guthrie Stone (with the famous birdhouse tree) at the corner of West State Street and North Bogart Lane, Garden City/Boise.  We are located at 8707 W State Street, Suite C, Garden City, Idaho 83714.
