Heather Green

is an interdisciplinary visual artist, educator and Associate Professor of Book Arts at the Herberger Institute School of Art at Arizona State University. Her research examines more-than-human encounters in the intertidal and ecological narratives of abundance and loss on a small headland in the Gulf of California in Sonora, Mexico. Whether documenting the movements of the tide, interviewing fishermen, collaborating with scientists, or combing the shoreline—she aims to evoke a nuanced exactitude of place, attuning to its more subtle reaches through a practice of walking and mapping. In order to offer the experience as a multidimensional, multi-sensory immersion, her installations use a wide range of media and interactive elements. Whether turning a handle to view a moving image or taking away a hand-printed card, she invites the audience to engage visually as well as haptically, allowing an opportunity for participation that calls for more sustained attention.

Heather exhibits her work regionally, nationally and has exhibited in Mexico, Spain, Uruguay, and England. She was a recipient of the 2024 UK Fulbright Scholar Award, and has also recieved the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona Visual Arts Award, an Arizona Commission of the Arts Artist Project Grant, and is one of four Arizona book artists nominated for the 2027 Women to Watch at the National Museum for Women in the Arts in Washington D.C.
