This porcelain mug showcases “Friends,” one of the most recognized works by Benjamin Chee Chee (1944–1977), a celebrated Ojibway artist from Temagami, Ontario, and a key figure in Canada’s Woodland School of Art. Known for his flowing, minimalist depictions of geese, Chee Chee described his subjects as “creatures of the present”, timeless images that have since become some of the most beloved in Canadian Indigenous art.
A portion of every sale goes back to the artist’s estate as royalty, so your purchase helps support the ongoing legacy of Indigenous art in Canada.
