Catherine Marie Daley (24 April 1955 – 2 March 2022) was a Canadian visual artist and educator located in Toronto, Ontario.[1]

Personal life

[edit]

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]

Career

[edit]

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]

Style and technique

[edit]

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..."[16]
