Liza Glenn

Liza Glenn entered the do-it-yourself industry quite by accident.

After successful careers as a retailer, real estate salesperson, chef, loan specialist, interior designer, and caterer, Liza was looking for a new challenge when her two children went off to college. During a summer at her lakeside home in Canada, she decorated her cottage with block printing and decided she wanted to develop a product that was easy to use and affordable for home decorators.

In 1994, Liza formed Muskoka Cottage Products, a full-service distributorship and mail-order company that specializes in block printing and decorating supplies. That same year, she also teamed up with Jane Gauss to develop Decorator Blocks®. These stamps are die-cut from a soft foam that is easy to clean and can be used time and time again. When combined with Decorator Glaze®, they create a hand-painted look for the home.

Liza has been interested in the fine arts and decorative arts most of her life. She began painting as a child, and was fortunate enough to travel the world with her family and view the work of the masters, as well as folk artisans of different cultures. Today she continues to share her love of the arts with others through teaching.
