Carissa Creek
Carissa was born and raised in Bowling Green Ky. Then followed her passion for art to Savannah College of Art and Design where she graduated with a degree in fiber art.

Carissa is a lover of live music, food and craft cocktails, so it’s no shocker that she found a “tribe” and made Sowal her home in 2003.
