Ariel lives in New Lexington, Ohio and graduated from New Lexington High School in 2015. She graduated from Hocking College in 2018 with a degree in Art Business Marketing and Design with a specialization in ceramics.

Ariel says, “It has been an amazing adventure and joining the Somerset Artists’ Co-op has given me a chance to grow and try new things as a new upcoming artist. The Co-op is such a beautiful, convenient and quiet studio where I feel I can let my new creative juices take flight. I joined the Somerset Artists’ Co-op in the beginning of December 2020. I joined in hopes of bringing new fellow artists together to collaborate and make new creations. I’m excited to take art classes and expand my skills, as well teach children classes in my experienced art forms, including ceramic hand building techniques, and construction paper art. I hope to volunteer and make a difference by changing the lives of new fellow artists as well as sell, create and learn new art forms as a new local artist coming to my own in the art world.”
