Laura Green is visual artist living in San Diego, CA. Green’s work is motivated by a
desire to envision a livable planet where humans and nature co-exist. Born and raised
in southern California, Green draws inspiration from her time exploring river trails and
coastlines by bicycle. Maps and navigation have always intrigued her, and many of her
paintings show figures on journeys.
Since she began homeschooling her four children, Green has increased her knowledge
of native plants and animals. Currently, she focuses on areas of conservation, such as
the Tijuana River, Famosa Slough and LA River, and imagines them in a restored state.
Green received a certificate in Art and The Creative Process at UCSD Extension in
2022, and a post-bacc in Studio Arts from UC Berkeley Extension in 2023. She has
been accepted into University of Reno Nevada’s low residency MFA-IA program for
2025. She exhibits with local groups regularly, and has shown her work in numerous
local libraries. Green has painted nature scenes on utility boxes for the cities of La
Mesa, National City, and Escondido.
