(c.1698 - c.1770)
Susanna Drury was the daughter of Lieutenant Thomas Drury. Her family is thought to have relocated from Norfolk to Dublin shortly before or after her birth. Her ‘View of London from One-Tree Hill, Greenwich Park’ (1733) suggests she lived for a time in London. In 1739, she spent three months living near the Giant’s Causeway and visiting it daily to work on painted views. The following year she submitted a pair of views of the Causeway to the Dublin Society exhibition and won the Society’s £25 premium. The works were engraved by the French landscape engraver Francois Vivares and the two prints became popular throughout Europe. Little is known of Drury’s later life, although she is thought to have married a man by the name of Warter.
