Artist Lynne Hull believes that “the creativity of artists can be applied to real-world problems and can have an effect on urgent social and environmental issues” (Hull, 2003). She draws in viewers with the beautiful, balanced images that she creates, while also engaging them intellectually in thinking about how her work restores balance to the area and aids non-human species in the area. A goal is to evoke strong emotion and provide a clear call to action and awareness. Hull’s artwork always centers on the theme of making a practical solution to pressing problems in an aesthetically pleasing manner that draws a human audience.
