Neltje Green is a Montreal-based painter whose work explores the relationship between memory and place, investigating how architectural environments shape emotional experience and perceptions of time.

Drawing from both lived and imagined spaces, Green treats architecture as a vessel for memory; sites that are continuously reconstructed, abstracted, and reinterpreted. Her work navigates the tension between representation and abstraction, using light, colour, and spatial composition to evoke the psychological resonance embedded within built environments. Through this process, familiar spaces become estranged and introspective, blurring the boundaries between personal and collective memory.

Green holds a Bachelor of Design from Concordia University. She has exhibited at institutions including the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and her work has been recognized through exhibitions and awards, including receiving the United Contemporary Award at the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair. In early 2026, she presented her first solo exhibition, marking a significant development in her evolving practice.

Positioned within contemporary conversations around space, perception, and material memory, Green’s work invites viewers to reflect on how environments are internalized, remembered, and transformed.
