Danielle Hogan [she/her] is an artist, writer, educator and community collaborator.

Her art practice is inspired by networks of care among and across undervalued and underrepresented communities. Her non two-dimensional work explores women & gender studies broadly, frequently embracing the relationships between activism and art.

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

In 2013 she was named the University of New Brunswick’s (UNB) prestigious 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 for the Arts, the Beaverbrook Art Gallery and JIWAR in Barcelona, Spain. Danielle’s currently the a program consultant the Arts&Culture branch in the Government of New Brunswick and 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.

Danielle’s first book, on the art of New Brunswick weaver Nel Oudemans, is due out in 2024.

Additionally, Danielle is also hopelessly passionate about her dog Frida, coffee and the people who roast, brew and consume it (she knows that the farmers who grow the coffee are central to her passion too however, she hasn’t had an opportunity to meet any of them yet!). She is also a very (and she truly means ‘very’..) amateur accordion player.
