Caroline Louisa Daly (1832–1893) was a Canadian artist born in Lower Canada, whose work is featured in one of eastern Canada's most prominent galleries, the Confederation Centre Art Gallery in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Her watercolours were misattributed to men until 2017, when Paige Matthie, a curator with the gallery, established provenance through a detailed two-year historical review and report. Her investigation was triggered when one of Daly's great-grandsons visited the gallery and alerted gallery staff to a possible misattribution, based on his familiarity with Daly's work. Following the Matthie report, the gallery held a new public exhibition of Daly's paintings, to acknowledge their error and to celebrate Daly's art, entitled "Introducing Caroline Louise Daly". Life Daly was born in Lower Canada on 6 December 1832 to Caroline Maria Gore and Sir Dominick Daly. Her parents were both from Ireland, but held numerous postings throughout the British Empire. She travelled extensively in her youth with her parents Her father was a colonial administrator, including twenty-five years in Lower Canada and the Province of Canada, and five years as Lieutenant Governor of Prince Edward Island. His last posting was as Governor of South Australia, where he died in 1868. Her mother died in South Australia in 1872. In August 1866 Caroline and her sister Joanna were married in a double marriage at Government House in Adelaide: Joanna to John Souttar, and Caroline to Henry Hobhouse Turton. Turton was manager of the Savings Bank of South Australia and died in 1893. Point Turton, on the Yorke Peninsula of South Australia, was named in celebration of the double wedding. Caroline and Henry had two daughters, Caroline Mabel Turton (1874–1956) and Violet Gore Turton (1876–1963). Daly died in Bournemouth, England, on 9 October 1893. Watercolour paintings Daly's watercolour paintings feature a range of subjects including natural scenes, a stranded whale, the interior of a cabin on a passenger ship, and images of the Prince Edward Island Government House in different seasons. In June 1863 she made a watercolour of the Government Cottage at Glenelg, South Australia. It was a summer residence of her father as governor of the state. Her works are signed C. Daly or C. L. Daly. For years, they were incorrectly attributed to one of two men, John Corry Wilson Daly, the first mayor of Stratford, Ontario, or Charles L. Daly, an art instructor and clerk with the city of Toronto.
