Catherine Marie Daley (24 April 1955 – 2 March 2022) was a Canadian visual artist and educator located in Toronto, Ontario. [1]
Daley was born on 24 April 1955 in Toronto, Ontario. [2] [3] [4] She died on 2 March 2022, at the age of 66. [5]
Daley earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the Ontario College of Art (OCA) (1973–74) [4] and studied at the Art's Sake Inc (1979–80). [3] She was an associate professor at OCAD University in the Faculty of Art, where she began teaching drawing and painting in 1988. [4]
Many of Daley's significant artworks are included in her Little Black Dress series (2001), [6] Power Dressing Fashion series (2003), [7] and Dance series (2009). [8] Her works have been exhibited in Canada and internationally since 1980, [9] in galleries such as the Project Gallery, [10] the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, [11] The Power Plant, [12] the Southern Alberta Gallery, [13] the Museum Dhondt Dhaenens, and Mercer Union. [14]
Daley's work investigates childhood memories and explores how women are represented through image and language in modern Western culture. [15] Her artwork draws inspiration from this imagery [16] and her resulting drawings are almost exclusively black pastel and charcoal on translucent vellum that reveal "disembodied gowns, tutus and billowy party frocks..."
