Talking Lismer

Hi, everybody,

There is a Canadian painter named Arthur Lismer. How do you pronounce this surname "Lismer"? I can not find the pronunciation of it anywhere. Could you have a look at it? Thank you!

It is [], or [] ?


P.S. I am learning American English.

Sorry for the spurious link to Wikipedia. I was copying and pasting IPA characters from Wikipedia. I didn't mean for the link to appear in my posting above.
