She also exhibited at other institutions until 1845, including the British Institution and the Society of British Artists. She married the painter James Green on 13 February 1805 in Marylebone and their children included the notable painter Benjamin Richard Green. Mary Green died on 22 October 1845 and was buried in Kensal Green Cemetery.
