Works
Teevee was part of the vibrant art community of Cape Dorset, or Kingnait, which produced large numbers of nationally known artists and sculptors, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s. While the artist worked in a variety of themes, Teevee's imagery in her most well-known drawings and prints are largely animal, spirit and human figures from Inuit storytelling and mythology. Most of her print work is from her original drawings; she produced over 380 prints in her lifetime. Teevee's pieces were part of the influential Cape Dorset collections of Inuit art in the early 1960s. The McMichael Canadian Art Collection holds a number of Teevee's pieces,{{Cite book|title=In Cape Dorset we do it this way : three decades of Inuit printmaking|last=Blodgett|first=Jean|date=1991|publisher=McMichael Canadian Art Collection|isbn=9780772992178|location=Kleinburg, Ont.|oclc=25367637}} with others permanently housed by Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada and the Canadian Museum of History in Ottawa, and the Art Gallery of Hamilton.
