About Holly Smee – Founder of Magical Mosaics

Holly Smee is a multi-disciplinary artist, creative entrepreneur, and founder of Magical Mosaics — a hands-on arts experience dedicated to celebrating colour, craft, and community through DIY Turkish Mosaic Lamp workshops and kits. Based in British Columbia, Holly brings warmth, curiosity, and connection to every studio she leads, helping participants of all skill levels slow down, play with vibrant materials, and leave with a glowing handcrafted creation that tells a story and lights a space.

With a lifelong passion for art and creative expression, Holly infuses traditional mosaic techniques with soulful intention, inviting people to explore heritage art in a welcoming and supportive environment. Her workshops are known for blending technique with joy — making every lamp more than just an object, but a memory and a shared experience.

Beyond mosaic art, Holly is an artist, author, tarot deck creator, and licensed psychotherapist who weaves emotional depth and imaginative spirit into her work. Her creative ventures reflect curiosity, heart, and a belief in the transformative power of making things with your hands and with others.

Whether you’re lighting up your first mosaic lamp or discovering your inner maker for the first time, Holly’s guidance makes every moment inspiring — and every finished piece magical.
