The gallery is one of several art spots on the Gallery Crawl today in Chattanooga.

The display is at 854 McCallie Ave. It contains works created by Abigail as resident in Rooigem Castle in Bruges, Belgium.

Here’s what Wavelength says about the Tulis exhibition.

Rooigem explores themes of belonging, Metamorphosis, and creative practice as a form of searching. Rooted in the natural cycles of solitude and seasons, the works in this show reflect an intimate connection to place and the transformative power of paying attention. Inspired by her time in Rooigem, a magical domain in Belgium, Abigail Tulis invites viewers into a meditative reflection on creativity, heartbreak, and the solace found in nature.

Abigail Tulis is a fanciful homeschooled young woman who has always had an independent spirit and way of doing things. She moved to New York at 17 and studied art in a classical atelier. (Photo David Tulis)
