Biography & CV

Laura Green is visual artist living in San Diego, CA. Green’s work examines the systems of living and nonliving things which connect us.  Her work raises awareness about the fragile relationships we have with each other and with nature which often go unnoticed and unappreciated. During this time of chaos and upheaval, spending time in nature has helped her reduce stress and anxiety. She has used her art practice to gain some control over an uncertain future. 

 

Born and raised in southern California, Green draws inspiration from her time hiking local trails with her family. Maps and navigation have always intrigued her, and many of her paintings show figures on journeys. 
 

Green has increased her knowledge of native plants and animals since she began homeschooling her children. A frequent visitor to nature centers and libraries, she focuses on local conservation, such as the Tijuana and San Diego Rivers. By depicting these fragile areas in a restored state, she hopes viewers will support conservation efforts in their own neighborhoods.
