Raven Green, born 1992, is an artist based in Southwest Florida and honors that by spending the majority of her free time outdoors painting in the pine flats and urban landscapes around her. Practicing professionally since 2014, she enjoys plein air painting in gouache as well as spending time in the studio working with casein, watercolor, oils, and colored pencil.

Art is her way of snapshotting the world around her, with the main advantage of being able to shroud any scene with her own sense of nostalgia. Her work intends to evoke a sense of wonder and longing for the seemingly mundane scenes around us.

“As an artist it is never my goal to “create” but to “capture.” The world around me provides an endless stream of inspiration and I use my emotional experience as a filter to the view in front of me. I have an affinity to winged insects and birds as they are a sort of moving artwork themselves, as well as a wistful approach to capturing my surroundings. From the repeated patterns of nature to the neon-lit corners of a deserted street, my hope is for the viewer to feel the same sense of remembrance for places they may have seen only in a memory or a dream.”
