D. Hogan

Desirae Hogan is a contemporary artist hailing from rural Alberta, Canada, whose evocative, dark-themed artwork challenges conventional perspectives on human emotion. Born and raised amidst the turbulence of a nomadic household, Desirae was no stranger to feeling like an outsider in her own community. Her unconventional upbringing heavily influenced her creative expression, drawing inspiration from counterculture, dark art, horror, and fantasy.

From a young age, Desirae was drawn to exploring the melancholic and darker aspects of human emotion. Constantly exposed to the notion that exploring dark emotions was a negative and potentially harmful practice, she nevertheless felt compelled to express her raw sentiment through her work. Desirae's artistic journey became a process of understanding and reconciling her own emotions, while simultaneously addressing and breaking down societal biases surrounding so-called 'negative' feelings.

Today, Desirae continues to challenge the status quo by exploring her melancholic approach to art. Her captivating work seeks to dismantle the toxic positivity mindset prevalent in society and celebrate all aspects of the human psyche. By embracing the entire emotional spectrum, her art creates a powerful and inclusive space for introspection and personal growth, providing a platform for others to embrace their authentic selves without fear or judgement. Through her distinctive style and courageous exploration of the human experience, Desirae Hogan is forging a path that invites us all to venture deeper into the shadows of our own minds.
