This is an early original landscape tapestry by acclaimed artist and educator Sue Lawty. The piece was in a collection acquired by my mother of 4 pieces of Sue's over the years beginning in the 70's. All 4 works have been verified by the artist as genuine through photos that were sent to her. It is made of linen and wool. The piece was mounted by the artist on a wooden board and it is ready to hang. There appears to be some damage in one spot that can be seen in the 4th picture. About Sue Lawty:
