ABOUT ARI O JEWELRY
ARIANE OGBURN COLEMAN
"I grew up making things. My room was referred to as the "disaster area" ~ craft supplies everywhere except the little blank spot on my floor where my body sat to cut, glue, and sew away. Art classes were my absolute favorite subjects in school.
I grew up with my parents living in different states, one foot firmly planted in Montana with Mom and the other foot chasing Dad around the West Coast. At seven years old I learned that jumping on an airplane to visit Dad meant experiencing new foods, cultures, climates and scenery. It sparked a curiosity in me and thus the passion for adventure.
My professional jewelry career began over 2 decades ago close to home at Montana State University, Bozeman. Further education took me to Italy, San Francisco & Cambodia.
Most recently ~ After over a decade of serving the public ~ I sold my brick and mortar studio/gallery to focus my energy back to creating one-of-a-kind quality pieces in my backyard studio in the ski resort community of Big Sky, Montana.
With my desire to create and love of adventure, my contemporary jewelry designs reflect the joy of experiencing new people, places and things."
