Daisy Frances Christina Osborn (27 April 1888 – 3 May 1957) was a New Zealand painter, illustrator and jewellery designer.

[3] Johnson went on to teach part-time at the Canterbury College School of Art (1921–27), giving instruction in painting, metalwork, design, and embroidery.

[3] Osborn worked as an illustrator of children's literature, mainly in pen and watercolour, and she designed modernist jewelry in silver with enamel or cloisonné decoration.

[3] There is also a group of religious paintings with pacifist themes from the 1930s, influenced in part by her interest in Theosophy.

[3][2] The sentimentality of her illustration work stands in stark contrast to the crisp contours and bold coloring of her mature paintings, such her 1936 portrait of fellow artist Rose Zeller.
