Rugadh Daphne Corregan i bPittsburgh Mheiriceá i 1954. Chuaigh sí go deisceart na Fraince i 1971, agus thug sí faoi chúrsa i scoil ealaíne Toulon, agus ina dhiaidh sin in Aix-en-Provence i stiúideo criadóireachta Jean Biagini i 1977. Is iomaí uair freastal déanta aici ar cheardlanna gloine agus créumha aici, agus is minic idir ghloine agus chréumha mar chuid dá cuid criadóireachta. Is i 1980 a chuir sí féin agus Gilles Suffren stiúideo ar bun le chéile don chéad uair. Sa mbliain 1989, thosaigh sí ag teagasc na criadóireachta agus na dealbhadóireachta in Ardscoil Náisiúnta na nEalaíon Súl i Monacó. Bronnadh deontaisí uirthi le hobair a dhéanamh i measc na gcriadóirí ban i mBurkina Faso na hAfraice Thiar, agus i Fule, Fuping, sa tSín. Bhí sí i gceannas ar cheardlanna criadóireachta go leor i rith na mblianta, agus is iomaí uair a ghlac sí páirt i dtionóil idirnáisiúnta, mar atá Le Printemps des Potiers i mBandol na Fraince, An tAcadamh Samhraidh i mBildwerk na Gearmáine, an WOCEK sa gCoiré, Clay Modern san Astráil, an Centre Consecours i Montréal Cheanada, an Keramiekmuseum i Westerwald na Gearmáine, agus an School for Decorative Arts i Geneva na hEilvéise. Tá comheagrú déanta aici ar roinnt mhaith taispeántaisí nuachriadóireachta: is é an taispeántas sa músaem nua le criadóireacht na Fraince i bhFuping na Síne an sampla is deireanaí uaithi den chineál seo oibre. Bíonn a saothar le feiceáil i dtíortha go leor, agus is iomaí bailiúchán príobháideach agus poiblí a bhfuil obair léi le háireamh ann. Bronnadh bonn cultúir uirthi i Monacó as ucht feabhas a cuid ealaíne, agus is ball den Acadamh Criadóireachta Idirnáisiúnta í i Geneva na hEilvéise. I measc an ábhair atá foilsithe aici, tá ailt sna hirisí idirnáisiúnta dar sainábhar an chriadóireacht, maraon le trí chatalóg agus físeán.
