Over a career spanning twenty years, Green directed and produced over fifty films and commercials for the BBC, Channel 4 and National Geographic. She won Best Docu-Soap at the National Television Awards and her short film Cherry Cake was an official selection at the Vancouver International Film Festival, a finalist at the St Louis International Film Festival and a Jury Selection at the Palm Springs International Film Festival.

“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.”
— Edgar Degas

A recurring thread throughout her filmmaking was a commitment to amplifying underrepresented voices, particularly women’s stories. Her films tackled subjects others avoided: female psychology, identity, the social pressures placed on women’s bodies and lives. This same fearlessness, the instinct to look honestly and without flinching, flows directly into her paintings.
