Greene is a painter living in Concord, New Hampshire. He is currently the Bachelor of Fine Arts Chair at the New Hampshire Institute of Art, in Manchester, NH.

“These paintings reflect my on-going interest in the formal construction of imaginary spaces- sometimes suggesting nature or science, sometimes mythical or archetypal environments, and sometimes suggesting passages to other dimensions.” “They always seem to be in motion and transition. I’m exploring, often blundering, impatient for the next scene. Colors, geometries, and individual marks are like characters set in motion; their interactions are spontaneous attempts to orchestrate accident and mother chaos for my own amusement, hoping for an edifying moment of clarity.”

On view are two, ten foot paintings that line each wall of the gallery. Striking both in size and content, they are both part of a series Greene has been working on for many years, inspired by the natural elements; air, fire, earth, and water.
