Tachevah Marie DeChelly Brewer

Thank you for the comforting words and concerned thoughts.

I cherish and treasure my daughter's outward and inward beauty. I am very fortunate to have had the wonderful moments with her and see her phenomenal artistic talent in her paintings, drawings and pictures.

She once said, "I hope to inspire change...and art is my voice!"

(A quote found in her 2008 Bachelors of Fine Art (BFA) show catalog of artist by Cornish College. See #1 in the art galleries.)

I will honor her wishes and pursue her dreams and feel her spirit every day of my life. She is free and in the light and will always be with me.

She is in every glistening rain drop, the breeze of the wind, the rays of sunshine, the billowy clouds, the colors of the rainbow, the smell of the flowers, and deeply embedded in my heart and soul.

I am going to take a walk and find the stars, because she is up there shining night and day and walking with me.

I know others are grieving for her and love her so much. I hope they find the light, peace, love and happiness I know she is shining down on them and everyone.

I hope you will find the light of her spirit as I have in the beauty of life and the positive memories of her. Please do not fall into the darkness of despair, because she is not there. She is still with us and does not want us to be in pain.

Please share my love and Tachevah's with others who may be concerned or in pain.

My daughter has touched so many lives. I would love to hear from you! Please share with me pictures, poems, stories, conversations, dreams, and especially her art!

One of her wishes was to have an online gallery at tachevahbrewer.com and as tribute to her; I am also going to have a local gallery showcase her work with a new show on her birthday next year and a future show of her new work. My mission in life is to have her voice heard around the world!

I am missing some of Tachevah's Bachelors of Fine Art (BFA) pieces and all of her other paintings, water colors and drawings. Please, please help me find them, so we can make some of her dreams come true!

The Art Show is scheduled for her birthday next year. I anticipate her art exhibition to be a tribute to a new awareness and change. Her paintings, photographs, water colors, and drawings will be displayed as well as memoirs. I would appreciate your contributions of her art and your memories to her life tribute of awareness and change.

We are planning her life celebration and will invite you all when we know when and where. We wanted to have it on her birthday on 1/24/85 this month, but unfortunately that is not possible this year. When we have retrieved her works of art and received your contributions of pictures, poems and special moments we can schedule the event. If you would like to speak at the celebration or provide a tribute for the video/powerpoint presentation please let me know.

Flowers would be greatly appreciated prior to her birthday this year 1/24/14, and I will preserve them all for her art show.

Flowers can be sent to

Evergreen Washelli, 18224 103rd Ave. N.E., Bothell, WA 98011 (M-F from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm)

Our love to you all,

Denine and Tachevah
