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 he focused on a career as a painter.
Especially popular are Alan's paintings of old 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 childhood visits to his own family's farms in Mapleton, ME and Orient, NY, and developed 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, 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.
