Welcome to the official site of artist Alan Bull
Known for his diversified subject matter and use of media, Alan Bull has earned special recognition for his paintings and monotypes. Originally from Old Town, Maine, Alan received his BFA at the Philadelphia College of Art and worked as a portrait artist, theatrical set painter, muralist, and studio assistant to glass artist Dan Dailey before embarking on a career as a painter and illustrator.
Especially popular are Alan's renderings of junked farm trucks, left to weather in the fields of Long Island's North Fork. The artist's passion for rural motifs and landmarks was inspired by his own family's farms in Mapleton, ME and Orient, NY, and matured during his assignment as artist-in-residence at the William Steeple Davis House in Orient.
Exhibitions have included shows in New York, London, Boston, and Portland, ME, and his work has been featured in Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, North Shore Living, The Boston Globe and The New York Times. Alan regularly teaches painting and drawing workshops throughout the East End of Long Island and the North Shore of Massachusetts, where he currently resides.
