Early life
Daly was born in Wellington in 1965.{{cite web|title=Daly, Andrea|url=http://findnzartists.org.nz/artist/3772/|website=Find NZ Artists|accessdate=6 January 2015}} She grew up partly in the Hokianga, one of the first areas of European settlement in New Zealand and the birthplace of Roman Catholicism in the country.{{cite book|last1=Clarke|first1=Philip|title=Talking to me: collecting and making|date=2010|publisher=Objectspace|location=Auckland|isbn=9780958281171}} While no longer a practising Catholic, curator Philip Clarke noted in 2010 that 'Catholic knowledge and sensibilities remain deeply ingrained and these sensibilities continue to inform and be celebrated within her jewellery practice'.
Education
Art historians Damian Skinner and Kevin Murray give Daly as an example of one of the early jewellers to emerge from new tertiary courses in their 2014 history of contemporary jewellery in New Zealand and Australia.{{cite book|last1=Skinner|first1=Damian|last2=Murray|first2=Kevin|title=Place and Adornment: A history of contemporary jewellery in Australia and New Zealand|date=2014|publisher=University of Hawai'i|location=Honolulu|isbn=9781869538200}}{{Rp|152}} She studied at Sydney College of the Arts, completing a Bachelor of Visual Arts in 1987.

She became a partner in Fingers Contemporary Jewellery in 1991, and taught at the Manukau Institute of Technology until 2004.{{cite web|title=The Multitude - About|url=http://themultitude-contemporarynzjewellery.blogspot.co.nz/2009/07/opened-tuesday-21st-july-at-6pm-22nd.html|website=THE MULTITUDE: Contemporary New Zealand Jewellery|accessdate=6 January 2015}}
According to Helen Schamroth, Daly "aims for integrity in her jewellery by seeking to make social commentary based on her own experience of a Catholic upbringing, and wants the ideas to ring true because they are more than superficial observations...Daly is interested in the function of jewellery as a signifier of the ways in which the body is understood and positioned in society." Her early work included icons of the Madonna, presented in brooches and pendants, in materials from gold-leaf to paper collages. She creates beaded and embroidered surfaces recalling religious garments and church adornments, and has used angel, heart, skull and wing motifs. She has also used Catholic ex votos in brooches.
Daly has participated widely in group exhibitions, and held various solo shows. Her work was included in Open Heart (1993–94), Same but Different (1996) and Grammar: Subjects and Objects (2001), respectively the first, second and fourth biennial exhibitions of contemporary New Zealand jewellery organised by The Dowse Art Museum and Talking to me: Collecting and making at Objectspace in 2010.{{cite book|last1=Crowe|first1=Deborah|title=4th New Zealand Jewellery Biennale : grammar: subjects & objects|date=2001|publisher=The Dowse Art Museum|location=Lower Hutt, New Zealand|isbn=0958341451}} Her work was also featured in Wunderrūma: New Zealand Jewellery, a touring exhibition of contemporary New Zealand jewellery curated by Warwick Freeman and Karl Fritsch and shown in 2014 at Galerie Handwerk in Munich and The Dowse Art Museum.{{cite web|title=Wunderrūma: New Zealand Jewellery|url=http://dowse.org.nz/exhibitions/detail/wunderruma-schmuck-aus-neuseeland|website=The Dowse Art Museum|accessdate=14 January 2015|archive-date=15 January 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150115013211/http://dowse.org.nz/exhibitions/detail/wunderruma-schmuck-aus-neuseeland|url-status=dead}}
