RED DRESS #19
The Red Dress paintings are part of Terry's 'Red Dress Movement' series to bring awareness to missing and murdered Indigenous women, men and two spirited peoples. The proceeds of the sale of these pieces will be going to the Esquao Institute for the advancement of Aboriginal Women.
Terry McCue (1945–2024) was an Ojibway artist from Curve Lake First Nation in Ontario and a self-taught painter whose work reflects Indigenous perspectives on nature, spirituality, and the interconnectedness of all living things. Influenced by his cousin Arthur Schilling, he developed a vibrant symbolic style while also working as a freelance illustrator and facilitator for Indigenous substance abuse programs. His paintings are known for bold imagery such as rainbow-hued moose, spirit-guarded bears, and teepees that speak to themes of home, identity, and cultural memory. Terry McCue’s work is an ideal choice for collectors seeking expressive Indigenous art that combines storytelling, symbolism, and powerful visual energy.
