J D Medina (José de la Cruz Medina) is a famous Zia artist both on paper and pottery. He is the grandson of Trinidad Medina (1890s-1965) who is considered to have been one of the best potters at Zia Pueblo during the first half of the 20th century. J. D. was well known for his pueblo-style paintings long before he began painting with acrylic on pottery. J. D. attended the Santa Fe Indian School from 1949 to 1953, after the departure of Dorothy Dunn and during the tenure of Geronima Montoya. From there he attended the Institute of American Indian Arts. He served in the Marine Corps then returned to New Mexico and lived at the pueblo. He continued painting easel paintings and acrylic paintings on pottery.
