Sue Suster Custom Rugs and Kashian Brothers Custom Carpets. She worked with Maury Bynum at Textile Conservators where she restored antique Persian carpets, and folk American rugs and quilts.

Lisa has recently moved her studio to Macomb, IL and is living her dream! She grew up near the Spoon River in Smithfield where her father, (a 1929 graduate of the Chicago Art Institute), painted scenes of rural Illinois and the Spoon River.
In her Macomb, IL showroom and studio, Lisa designs rugs for homes and businesses throughout the USA and abroad. "My studio is named the 'Fruits of Love', because that is what each of my carpets truly is!"
