A native of Tucson, Heather Green has frequented her family’s beach cabin in La Cholla, a headland near Puerto Peñasco, Mexico her entire life. Her projects and installations examine the communal and ecological narratives of this region, both documenting the diminution of biodiversity, undeveloped habitat and cultural memory, and revering the natural forms and processes found there. The collaborative nature of many of her projects and commissions has led her to work with a diverse range of individuals including poets, scientists and fishermen. Green earned both her BFA (1995) and her MFA (2008) from the University of Arizona. She is a recipient of the 2011 Arizona Commission on the Arts Artist Project Grant, the 2010 Community Foundation of Southern Arizona/Buffalo Exchange Arts Award and the Oregon College of Art & Craft Emerging Artist Residency in book arts. She is currently an Adjunct Instructor at the University of Arizona and Pima Community College and is the proprietor of Cartagrafia, a letterpress and etching studio.
