Her experience not only as the author of Resurrecting Allegheny City, but as well her successful Artistic Agenting since 1992 are brought to bear. (Lisa has sold paintings and antique instruments nationally, as well as represented vintage political posters at Swann Galleries NYC and sold to Center for Political Graphics LA.)
Lisa also delves into neighborhood identity issues. She is adept and experienced at communicating among various community entities and across various demographics to capitalize on and preserve the historic elements of a property.
