(Francis Eugene Green) grew up in San Diego, California. He received his A.B. Degree in Painting from San Diego State University in
1970. Temple University, Tyler School of Art then awarded Green a fellowship in printmaking in Rome, Italy. The following year, Green
graduated with an M.F.A. Degree in Printmaking from Tyler School of Art, Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Upon
finishing his education, Green accepted the position of Department Head of Printmaking at the Instituto Allende in San Miguel de Allende,
Mexico.
In 1975, Green moved to New York City and began a career as a stone lithographer. As a stone printer he worked with professional
artists such as Norman Rockwell. in 1984, Green moved to Greene County to paint landscapes, where he gave on-site painting courses
at Columbia Greene Community College and worked with the Friends of Olana for over 10 years teaching on-site painting. In 1999 and
2000, Green led painting workshops at Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Green has taught Vocational Commercial Arts at Greene
Correctional Facility in Coxsackie, N.Y. for the past 21 years.
Green has been drawn to the Hudson River Valley to paint because of its "type" of light, its history of landscape painting and the
ever-changing atmosphere experienced when observing on-site. His paintings reflect place and a romantic quality that is meditative.
Observing nature, recording atmospheric conditions and understanding the artist' relationship with nature continues to intrigue him.
Green's paintings have been exhibited widely on the east coast and are in many public and private collections. He has been chronicled
in American Artist Magazine and appears in Who's Who in America, Who's Who in the World and Who's Who in Education.
