Vanalyne Green studied art at Fresno State University in the first feminist art program started by Judy Chicago and then at California Institute of the Arts with Sheila Levrant de Bretteville, where she earned a BFA degree in 1974.[5] Green was a member of the Feminist Art Workers in Los Angeles. The group adopted a non-hierarchical structure and employed feminist pedagogy to create interactive, participatory performance art. In New York City, she was a founding member of the pro-choice, pro-sex agit-prop group "No More Nice Girls".[6] And later in Chicago, Green was a founding member of the collaborative group Feel Tank Chicago, which plays on the notion of the think tank and engages with the role of emotions and affect in politics.[7][8]
Green was appointed a Professor of Fine Art at the University of Leeds in 2004.[9] She was chair of Undergraduate Fine Art at Art Center College of Design from 2013 to 2015 and has also taught at School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Temple University, and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris.[10]
