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 journal entries, or maybe poems, while her sculptural practice explores gender, craft, and intersections of art and collectivity. Through her work, she explores questions about life, precarity and dominant culture.
In 2016 Danielle came up with the new term femaffect, a word to specifically address an affect (a feeling that subconsciously ‘sticks with us’) that has been feminized in Western culture to be understood as negative or ‘lesser 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, Emily Carr University (BFA) in Vancouver, the University of Victoria (MFA) before earning her PhD in Interdisciplinary Studies from UNB.
She has been selected to participate in several residencies in internationally including at Banff Centre, the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, JIWAR in Barcelona, Naples and will be headed to LA STORTA - Venezia Contemporanea in Venice, October 2026.
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 grateful but uninvited guest, near Sitansisk [Saint Mary’s) New Brunswick, which sits on the unceeded and unsurrendered territory of the Wolastoqiyik, Peskotomuhkati, and Mi’kmaq Peoples.
Her first book, LIGHT and MATERIAL: Weaving and the Work of Nel Oudemans, is out now and available online at Chapters, Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
