Eric Green was given a full scholarship to the Rhode Island School of Design at the age of sixteen. After attending the school for a week, he left to ride freights across the country, spending four years on the road.

In addition to painting for thirty years, he has worked in a frame shop, assembled pulp testers, traveled with a carnival, restored houses, painted industrial buildings from a hanging scaffold, designed two labels for Brazilian beers, written four novels and column for the local paper. He has had two one person painting-drawing exhibitions in SoHo and Chelsea, received three grants, and a merit award from the National Academy of Design.

In New England his paintings have been exhibited at the Ogunquit Museum, Brattleboro Museum, Robert Hull Fleming Museum, and the Portland Museum. His paintings regularly sell for between $7,500-$15,000. Several of his oils can be seen online: Artsforge Gallery.
