      • Esther Elinor Johnson Landis

        Esther was born Aug. 16, 1916, in Franklin, to Louis O. and Grace (Griffin) Johnson.

        Esther was married to the painter David Landis (b.1918-1983) and they occasionally collaborated on the designs of her ceramics.

        After attending John Herron Art Institute in Indianapolis, she studied art at the University of Iowa, Iowa City, obtaining a bachelor of arts degree in 1940 and a master’s degree in 1941. During the war years, she worked in drafting at Curtis Wright, a manufacturer of cargo planes.

        She began teaching art in the Chicago public school system in 1951. Esther was a prolific, talented studio ceramicist, who with her husband was active in the first art fairs in Old Town Chicago. Her artwork was exhibited at juried shows nationally and in a traveling Smithsonian display of American craft.

        In 1972 Esther and David moved from Chicago to the San Francisco Bay Area where they set-up the Landis Studio.

        Examples of Esther's ceramic work are in the permanent collection of the Johnson County Museum of History in Indiana.
