Her work has been shown at Whitespace Gallery, Day&Night Projects, Zuckerman Museum of Art, Tiger Strikes Asteroid in Greenville, Auburn University, at the Atlanta Airport. Bull lives in Athens and curates an artist-run gallery space called FOYER. 

I make large-scale textile installations inspired by the body, the ocean, the environment and natural world. Many times, using found fabrics and clothing like prom dresses and sparkly tube tops, my sculptures allow me to playfully examine my life, emotions and experiences. In the classroom, I encourage students to investigate what is important to them and then we accompany each other on a creative journey, experimenting with materials and ideas, in pursuit of getting closer to what they are trying to say, to communicate, to build.
