Hannah Bull is a Houston-based interdisciplinary artist and art educator of Mexican and British heritage whose work explores animacy, ecology, decomposition, ritual, and the relationships between human and nonhuman life. Working across painting, sculpture, installation, film, and public art, Bull examines the ways humans assign value to the natural world and considers what becomes possible when humans are removed from the center of that hierarchy.

Her practice is rooted in observation, reciprocity, and an interest in the overlooked lives and landscapes that exist alongside us. Drawing from the ecology of Houston and the Gulf Coast, Bull frequently turns toward native plants, wildlife, roadways, bayous, and other spaces where human infrastructure and nonhuman life collide. Through acts of attention, mourning, humor, and care, her work considers death and decomposition not simply as endings, but as processes of transformation and return.

Bull’s work moves between the intimate and the public. Her studio practice incorporates ritual, memorial, and storytelling, while her large-scale murals transform architectural spaces through saturated color, botanical forms, and imagery inspired by local environments. Across these different forms, she creates encounters that encourage viewers to slow down, notice, and reconsider their relationship to the living world.

Bull earned her MFA in Interdisciplinary Practice and Emerging Forms from the University of Houston and holds a BA in Psychology from Sam Houston State University. Alongside her studio and public art practice, she is a high school art educator with more than a decade of experience teaching art and has also taught at the university level. She lives and works in Houston, Texas.
