Everone Deserves a Crown No.1 Painting

Christian Potter Drury comes from a long line of artists. Her relative Allyn Cox spent two decades painting the murals in the Capital rotunda in Washington, DC, and her father was the art book publisher Clarkson N. Potter. Christian spent her childhood in New York City and London and summered in Jamestown, Rhode Island. Drury trained at London’s Sir John Cass School of Art and at SUNY before embarking on a long and successful career as an Art Director at newspapers, notably the The Los Angeles Times, and most recently the Wall Street Journal. Christian has drawn and painted since she was 13. Christian decided to chuck it all and do what she was supposed to do. She left NYC and The Wall Street Journal behind three years ago to paint full time, in Jamestown.
