About
Alan Bull is originally from Old Town, Maine, and he studied at the Philadelphia
College of Art. He was the artist in residence at the William Steeple Davis
House in Orient from 1996-1998. In 2000 Alan received a NYSCA Community
Connections grant for ‘Farm Freight’, an exhibition of paintings and
photographs documenting the agricultural railroad depots on Long Island’s North
Fork, which was shown at the Oysterponds Historical Society and the East End
Arts Council. In 2019 he illustrated Augustus and Me, a children’s
book about the history of Orient written by Janice Rose, and he has recently
illustrated other children’s books, and an album cover for Ian Hunter on Sun
Records. Alan exhibits his work regularly in Orient and at the North Fork Art
Collective in Greenport.
“I grew up in central Maine, and spent childhood summer vacations on my grandparent’s Orient farm. The
unique light of the North Fork of Long Island has been the subject of much of
my recent work, and I continue to find my own voice as an artist by painting
this special place.” — Alan Bull
