Canvasworks Overview

Since 1992 Lisa Cury Mair has created floorcloths, fireboards, table runners and other painted canvas items for homes throughout the United States and Canada. 

From a degree in Mathematics, to children's book illustration, to research in historical aspects of early American life, all paths have led to a career in designing, crafting and painting functional canvas surfaces with a strong geometric element reminiscent of a bygone era.

All work is executed in the carriage-house wing of an 18th century farmhouse at the base of Ascutney Mountain in the Connecticut River Valley town of Weathersfield, Vermont. The studio, shop and showrooms are open by chance or appointment.

Chosen by Early American Homes Magazine for its Directory of Traditional Crafts.

Granted tenure for the Weston Craft Show, a premiere, strictly-juried showcase of Vermont crafts.

Featured in The Boston Globe Magazine's Hot Line's section, July 1995.

Founding member and participant of By Farm & By Hand, a tour of Historic Weathersfield, Vermont since 1996.
