Karah Tull

Karah Tull has a Bachelor of Arts in Literature and a Master of Arts in Education from the University of Tennessee. She illustrated the children’s book, Thump by Lisa Soland. She was also the winner of the 2018 writing Fellowship to the Wilma Dykeman Literary Festival in Hot Springs, hosted by Amy Greene. One of her art pieces was featured in the January 2021 issue of the literary magazine, Beyond Words. Change Seven Magazine has also featured several of Karah Tull’s photography pieces in 2021 and 2022. Pilgrimage is a set of images representing an unexpected event in Karah’s life when her husband was taken to the hospital for Pancreatitis, which evolved into two more hospital stays because he developed staph pneumonia in his lungs. These are small bits of substance she gathered along the way. She hopes they reveal an authentic view of the paralyzing fear, exhaustion, isolation, but also the deep intimacies and small pockets of light that humans encounter when a loved-one experiences a chronic or debilitating illness.
