She mentors aspiring artists of all ages, and has brought the quilting experience to hundreds of individuals in schools and residency programs.[4][5] She volunteers and works in a number of arts guilds, and is sought after for workshops and lectures.[8] Brewer's quilts have been featured in collections such as those of the African American Museum, Dallas, the State Museum of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg, and The National Afro-American Museum and Cultural Center, Wilberforce, Ohio.[8] Her quilts have been exhibited internationally via the “Art in Embassies” program of the U.S. Department of State.[5] Her quilts are displayed at the US Embassy in Ghana.[6] Her work was included in that program’s exhibitions in Accra (2003), Khartoum (2009), and Dhaka (2011). Brewer describes her design process as using the concept of the mandala.[3] Friday, June 12, 2009 was proclaimed "Tina Willilams Brewer Day" by Pittsburgh City Council.[7] Personal lifeBrewer lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with her husband, John Brewer. She has two children, John Emery and Kristine, and four grandchildren.[4] WorksThe harvest, 1989 Migration blues, 1998 Rising from the thicket, 2014 Whirling dance and the unconscious rhythm [8]Awards
