Biography


Green was born in West Hartlepool; her father worked at a steel plant, and was also a member of the local art club.[1][2][3] From 1944 she studied at West Hartlepool School of Art and then won a scholarship to the Royal College of Art where she studied until 1947.[4] She won several prizes at the RCA, including a Silver Medal and Painting Prize.[5] In 1947 Green started teaching at Walthamstow College of Art, then in the 1960s at the Royal Academy Schools.[1][2][3]

Green's husband was the artist Lionel Bulmer.[1][2][3] They lived in Sussex from the 1950s, and restored their mediaeval house and its garden at Onehouse.[1][2][3][6] Green also kept a studio in Chelsea, London.[6] In 1972 Green had a solo exhibition at the New Grafton Gallery and in 2002 Messum's held a joint exhibition of her and her husband's work.[5]
