Grace Green (1994) is a painter whose work explores the intersections of visual art, food, and community. Her practice moves between painting, outdoor installation, and collaborative projects, often shaped by land-based processes and seasonal labour. She is drawn to the ways making can quietly connect material, place, and people, creating moments of shared experience and reflection.

She completed an MA Fine Art (Painting) at Bath Spa University in 2025 and took part in the Porthleven Residency the same year, exploring provenance, locality, and coastal landscape. Earlier residencies include Lower Hewood Farm in Dorset (2018), where she engaged in self-directed rural fieldwork, including lambing, vegetable growing, and hedge laying. Based in Somerset, she works from her studio and is a member of Hatch, an artist-led collective housed in a former chicken factory.

Grace has exhibited at Somerset Arts Week, The White Barn, the Royal Cambrian Academy Summer Show, Liberty London, The Hatch Collective, and Soft Rebellion at The Holburn Museum, Bath. She has produced site-responsive installations for Fanny’s Meadow Festival and The Green Scythe Fair, including walk-through circular paintings for live music and arts events.

Alongside her studio practice, Grace works in vegetable harvesting and catering, foregrounding sustainability, care, and collective labour. She leads workshops and participatory projects with youth and adult communities, exploring seasonal rhythms, shared making, and material engagement. Her work brings painting, process, and everyday care together, quietly attending to place, people, and the ways art can sustain connection.

Summary

Painter foremost, I explore the intersections between visual art, food, and community. My practice includes painting, outdoor installations, and collaborative projects, often rooted in land-based themes. I work across the fields of contemporary art, vegetable harvesting, and catering, valuing sustainability and creative community engagement.
