Samuelle Green’s work has always been multidisciplinary. Throughout all her mediums; painting, drawing, sculpture, and installation, there is a common thread of subject matter – that of the interaction of the human made and non-human visual world languages. At times these encounters are contentious and at others symbiotic –often stills in processes of decay as well as those of fructuous growth. Whether through mark making or the repurposing of recycled materials, Samuelle seeks to highlight the forms and details present in nature which humanity often overlooks and under-appreciates. Within sets of self-imposed parameters or on rigid structures representing metaphorical frameworks of natural laws, elements repeat and propagate giving way to organic forms free of their scaffolds both literal and non-material.

A native to Honesdale, PA, a small rural town, Samuelle Green’s early years were surrounded not only by nature, but also by a family of artisans and craftspeople that had a lasting impact on her current practices. She also sought out artists in the community who she began to apprentice under. She then went on to study at Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia and Parsons School of Design in New York earning a BFA. Green continued to live in Brooklyn and work there in the arts for nearly 20 years. Her time in NYC was spent as a freelance artist working on her personal work as well as fabricating work for other artists and museums as well as working in set design, mural and sign painting and creating window displays. Green then decided to relocate her studio to her hometown in order to concentrate more fully on her own work. This is where she continues to develop her paintings, drawings, sculptures and installations as well as furthering the local artistic community through happenings at her studio. While based in PA she is continuing to show her work both nationally and internationally. Her large scale, immersive installations have been shown in museums in China, both Shanghai and Beijing, in Venice, Italy, in Tamiku, Estonia, and France as well as many varied locations across the US. Her work has been included in publications such as Hyperallergic, Collosal, Design Boom and The Gothamist as well as appearing in television series on HBO and AMC+. Samuelle has been the recipient of grants and awards including those from The Foundation for Contemporary Art, The Lammot Belin Award and was the winner of the Arte Laguna Prize in Venice Italy.
