After graduating from the University of the Witwatersrand with a BFA Honors in Printmaking and Art History, she emigrated to the United States in 1983. While studying for her MFA at UMASS Dartmouth, she volunteered for a Fund for a Free South Africa (FreeSA) from 1985 to 1992, where she co-founded Cultural Resistance to educate the American public about Apartheid.
In 1999, Green was instrumental in starting the artist-in-residence program at the University of New Mexico's High Performance Computing Center, which led to the founding of the Art Technology Center (ATC). She was Grants Administrator and, later, Program Coordinator for both the ATC and the Arts of the Americas Institute. She returned to Boston in 2001, and completed her MS in Art Administration at Lesley University in 2003.
Green is also a curator, writer and designer. She has exhibited her paintings, prints, one-of-a-kind artist's books, and installations in Johannesburg (South Africa), Massachusetts and New York. Visit her
