Kathleen Daly (1898-1994) and George Pepper (1903-1962) met while studying art at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris, and married in 1929.
Based in Toronto for most of their creative careers, Daly and Pepper travelled and painted together extensively. Both are well known for their depictions of the people and lifestyle of Canada's northernmost territories, where they lived among their subjects throughout the 1960s.
