Mary Daniel Hobson: Offerings

Born in San Francisco, Mary Daniel Hobson has been pursuing photography for over thirty years. With training as an art historian and a graduate degree in Surrealism, Hobson was inspired to combine photography with mixed media. Whether building layered collages, creating intricate still lives, or bottling photographs in mineral oil, Hobson consistently explores layered experiences and inner geographies. Uniting all of her work is an embedded belief that artwork can convey the complexity of our psychological existence and help us make sense of and navigate an ever-shifting world.

Hobson’s work has been exhibited widely over the past three decades and resides in numerous collections, including San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Albuquerque Museum, and the Datz Museum in South Korea. She received a BA in art history from Vassar College and an MA in the history of photography from the University of New Mexico. Her monograph, Offerings, was published in 2019 by Datz Press.
