Erin Johnston (b. 1991 Spokane, Washington) is a multidisciplinary artist whose material interests lie within the fields of printmaking and sculpture. An early academic background in conservation biology informs her artistic inquiries, which aim to explore the intersections between living and manufactured environments. Many works collage together territories of retail, industrial manufacture, and encounters with living ecosystems.

Johnston graduated with her MFA from the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Arts at Washington University in 2022. She received a Post Baccalaureate in Studio Art from Eastern Washington University in 2020, and a Bachelor of Science in Wildlife Biology from The Evergreen State College in 2013. She has exhibited work in St. Louis, MO, Washington and Idaho. She has produced public works for the City of Spokane and is the illustrator of Búhos de Colombia, a published field guide to Colombian owls. She currently teaches at the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Arts as an adjunct lecturer, and holds the Post Graduate Fellowship at Island Press.
