Flora Annie Margaret Landells (nee Le Cornu) (1888-1981), painter and potter, was born in 1888 in North Adelaide. The family moved to Guildford, Western Australia, in 1896. In 1903 Flora Landells began studies at the Perth Technical School, under J. W. R. Linton. She was an outstanding student, achieving first-class passes and securing scholarships. A member of the Western Australian Society of Arts from 1904, she exhibited regularly to 1914, winning the open competition and the (Deborah) Hackett prize for drawing in 1906. Examples of her work were included in the Australian Exhibition of Women’s Work (1907) and the Franco-British Exhibition at Wembley, London (1908). She taught art at Methodist Ladies’ College (1908-48) and at Midland Junction Technical School (1909-30). She also took up china painting, using lustres and featuring geometric patterns or stylised swirling forms.
