Nancy Green
Nancy Green, Master Photographer, Craftsman, has been photographing professionally since 1974 and has called Plymouth, Massachusetts home to her Portrait
studio since 1979.
Her work isn’t just about creating images but about crafting experiences.
The decades-long loyalty of her clients and colleagues is proof of the heart and commitment she pours into her craft. Nancy is a PPA Approved Juror, a four-term member of the PPA Council, and served as PPA Nominating Chairperson in 2018 and 2019. She has been honored with the PPA National Award twice —
from both Vermont and Massachusetts — as well as the Buddy Stewart Humanitarian Award. She holds Lifetime Memberships with PPAM, NHPPA, and PPA, and her images have earned numerous accolades including state and district Courts of Honor, Impact awards, Kodak, Fuji, and multiple vendor recognitions.
A past president of both PPAM and PPANE, Nancy’s work has appeared in exhibits across the country, including the prestigious PPA Loan Collection displayed nationwide and at Epcot Center. Most recently, her photographs have been featured at the Plymouth Center for the Arts, the Falmouth Art Association, and Photiq in Royal Leamington Spa, England.
Though Nancy’s photographs have been displayed in many exhibits, she is most proud of the portraits displayed in hundreds of her clients homes.
