Danielle Hogan [she/her] is an artist, writer, educator from Canada.

Her work challenges dominant culture in nuanced ways. Danielle’s small paintings are like visual diaries, poems or haikus, while her sculptural practice explores gender, craft, and the intersection of art and activism. Through her work, she asks questions about everyday life and patriarchal culture.

In 2016 Danielle came up with the new term femaffect, a word to specifically address an affect (feelings that “stick to us”. Ahmed, S. 2004), which has been feminized in Western cultures, either intentionally or unintentionally, to be understood as negative or to suggest that something is ‘less than’.

In 2013 Danielle was named the University of New Brunswick’s Dr. William S. Lewis Doctoral Fellowship scholar, her doctoral dissertation Just making it: the stain of femaffect on fiber in art investigates the negative effects of femaffect on textiles in art.

Danielle studied at New Brunswick College of Craft and Design (Diploma in Creative Graphics, ’95), Emily Carr University in Vancouver (BFA, 2000) and the University of Victoria (MFA, 2003) before earning her PhD (2017) in Interdisciplinary Studies from UNB.

She has been selected to participate in several residencies in internationally including at Banff Centre, the Beaverbrook Art Gallery and JIWAR in Barcelona and, in Naples.

Danielle is a program consultant the Arts&Culture branch in the Government of New Brunswick where she is responsible for the provincial art collection.

Of Irish, Italian and French settler ancestry, Danielle lives as a guest, near Sitansisk [Saint Mary’s) New Brunswick, which sits on the unceeded and unsurrendered territory of the Wolastoqiyik, Peskotomuhkati, and Mi’kmaq Peoples.
