Career

The daughter of Charles Wright, a captain in the Royal Engineers, Bayfield was born in Kensington and reputedly studied art in England with an instructor who also taught Queen Victoria.[1] She came to Lower Canada in 1833 when her father was posted to Quebec. In 1838, Bayfield married Captain Henry Wolsey Bayfield, a surveyor; the couple had four sons and two daughters. In 1841, she moved with her husband to Charlottetown. She taught painting and possibly music to women there.[1][2]

She died in Charlottetown at the age of 77.[1] Her granddaughter presented an album of wildflowers in watercolour, Canadian wild flowers, to Library and Archives Canada.
