Surrounded by a suburban landscape, Cris and Lisa have created an unexpected sanctuary for making art and gardening where they nurture flowers, fish, and herbs. In the studio, Lisa hand-dyes small batchees of handspun yarns and weaves original designs inspired by their oasis. Cris demonstrates his remarkable woodworking skills in their workshop. Creating tapestry impressions of nature's infinite textures and sharing those creations with other art and nature lovers is their passion!

Lisa has been a full time professional tapestry artist since 1974. Shea has created work for numerous corporations around the world such as Upjohn Corporation, Amway Corporation (Alticor), Haworth Incorporated, Trendway Incorporated, and McDonald's Restaurant Corporation. Berry has also been commissioned for private collections including world-renown golfer Arnold Palmer, Edie Magnus of MSNBC, and Amway Co-founder, Richard DeVos. She has been included in prestigious exhibitions such as the "International Textile Exhibition" in Manila, Philippines and "Art in the Governor's Mansion" in Lansing, Michigan.

Cris has been a partner with Motherloom since its inception. Not only does he spend his days being a part of Motherloom, but he also is a practicing Architectural Designer of over 35 years. Berry's projects have included nationally published custom homes, office furniture showrooms and renovation design for Chicago's Sears Tower.
