Hello!

My name is Carissa and I’m so grateful you’re here!

I’ve been creating art since I can remember and I suppose, if you ask my mom, I was making art even before that. The road to my artistic career began with those beginning sketches hung on the fridge and countless sculptures of sculpy clay and shrinkydinks (you 90s kids know.)

I graduated from Cedarville University with a BA in Studio Art where I met my incredibly talented, graphic designer husband, Jesse Bowser. Though I never thought I would marry an artist, I love that we both share a passion for creativity together. Over the years we have collaborated on many projects from murals, children’s book illustrations, and posters and prints. As I like to say, “Support Art. Marry an Artist.” It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.

We love living in the foothills of the beautiful blue ridge mountains - which is the inspiration behind much of my work - and do our best to spend time outside taking in the beauty of the trails, lakes and waterfalls nearby.

I hope my paintings bring a sense of peace and joy and may they cause you to reflect on the love and creativity of our Creator.

I’m so grateful for each and every one of you who have supported and continue to support me on my artist journey as I pursue this passion of mine.
