Hi there.

The name "Lileiser" does not show up anywhere as a last name of
anyone, whether an artist or not.  Are you sure this is correct?  If
you are reading the name off of a signature, it may well be that the
last name is something other than it first appears.

Please tell us anything you can about where you came across the name,
and how sure are of its spelling.  This will help researchers try to
pin it down.

Thanks.

Hi Mikey3628,

If you are reading the artists signature off of a work of art, it
would help researchers to see a photo of the signature.

If you don't have your own website, you can register and upload a
picture to one of the following free sites. (make sure you designate
it as a "public" album so we don't need a password to see it).  Then
come back here and use the CLARIFY QUESTION button and post the URL.

I just purchased this painting ( oil on canvas 22x18 inches ) in upstate
new york ( near cooperstown )in antique shop in an old barn.It is a still
life of peonies and other flowers in a dark green vase sitting on a table
next to a small horse sculpture
the signature is quite clear: Mary E.lileiser
Is it possible the artist is european? Maybe german.
Maybe you can try different letter combinations.e.g. Elileiser
Tank you for your interest. I will send you a picture if I had an address;
