Mary Daniel Hobson
University of New Mexico, Albuquerque

Danny Hobson is pursuing her MA in the history of photography at the University of New Mexico. Her research has concentrated on women photographers and their important contributions to art history. Her goal is to create a balanced vision of the past by weaving women’s art into our historical consciousness. She has written about Lee Miller’s photographs of World War II, Tina Modotti’s images of Revolutionary Mexico, and Sally Mann’s contemporary portraits of her children in rural Virginia. Her thesis will address the largely unknown work of the French surrealist photographer, Dora Maar.

Hobson is also a photographer and has been studying non-silver processes. She has experience in both teaching and museum work. A graduate from Vassar College in 1991, she has recently received a Vassar Fellowship to support her graduate study. Hobson received a Graduate Achievement Award from the University of New Mexico, which will fund a summer research trip to France in order to expand her research on Dora Maar
