OM’s are true originals in every sense of the word… born in Rhode Island by a lighthearted creative spirit named Miquette Bishop. Always encouraged to follow her heart, Miquette comes from a family of artists and has been part of many creative happenings. But she found her true calling and a profound connection when she created the first OM.

OMs come from humble beginnings. In 2008, Miquette realized that buying the Christmas gifts she loved to give was not an option that year. Ever the artist, she viewed this challenge as a creative opportunity. She would make gifts out of clay; little symbols to remind her family and friends everyday that they are loved.

She began to work, and out popped a little gnome-looking creature with a scrunched up cap, who seemed to exude a remarkably peaceful, sweet energy. Miquette’s children told her he needed some friends, and that’s how the first community of OMs came to be.
