About Johanna Littleton, artist

Johanna Littleton, an artist from Decatur, works primarily in acrylic and mixed media.  Johanna’s message in her paintings is for people to “stop and really look at the people you meet each day”.   

Her series "Families of Man" is the result of a chance meeting with a 93-year-old woman in a bazaar in Esfahan, Iran in 1977. For nearly 15 years, that moment when two women seemed to bridge the gap of age, culture and language kept returning to her. These thoughts culminated in this series.

She has lived in Decatur with her husband. Larry, and six sons since 1982. She worked as the graphics design editor/illustrator for the Decatur Daily for seven years, taught art K-8 at St. Ann’s school and is now teaching graphic design at Calhoun Community College.

She has been past president of Decatur Art Guild and been a member of the Shoals Art Guild. She has been in Arts Alive and Helen Keller festivals for six years.
