Timothy David Tew

This photo is from a few years ago at the Colonnade on Cheshire Bridge. Time spent with Timothy was extraordinary. He was my Rock of Gibraltar. One of the last times he and I spoke by phone on 8.3.24, he shared with me to be "true to myself" and for that I cherish his guidance and the times we spent together.

The first time I met Timothy was in the late 80s before he had a gallery. I had just opened my rug business over on Benett Street and Tim sold me my first Aptel from the trunk of his vintage Cadillac or maybe it was a Lincoln. We have been friends ever since.

I spent many days of my 20 years at TULA sitting on the floor in his office just talking about art and getting to...

Tim and I worked together in the 1980´s at Citizens Jewelry in Atlanta. He was so funny, smart and entertaining! All of us girls who worked with him were attracted to his good looks. RIP Tim. We will see you again.

I´ve had the privilege of knowing Timothy since the Tula years, and the memories we shared will forever remain close to my heart.

Timothy had a remarkable gift for surrounding himself with incredible people-Amon, Dan Cameron, David Ivie, Corey McIntosh, Carl, Penny... and, of course, the many talented artists he championed throughout his life. His taste in art and design was impeccable, a...
