Tee Corinne published The Cunt Coloring Book in 1975. The Cunt Coloring Book is just what the title suggests it is, a coloring book of female genitalia. It was later reissued as Labiaflowers in 1981, but can be found today under its original title.

Tee Corinne in the Country:
Tee Corinne was born in Florida (1943) and spent time in North Carolina and the Bahamas. After attending college in New Orleans and South Florida, she lived in New York, and various other places on the East Coast. In the early 1980s she moved to rural Oregon where lesbians were setting up community in a "back to the land" movement. Tee Corinne said, "I moved to a rural area where lower maintenance costs and fewer distractions free my time to make art."

Remember Tee Corinne:
Twenty years before her death she published these words in Common Lives/Lesbian Lives. "When death comes into our lives it is important not to become victims in our own grief, for in the passivity pain may induce, we suffer not only personal losses but the loss of our own history, our culture. Somehow we must take the time, summon the energy to write obituaries, to insure the survival of work, to honor the dead in way that they will be visible and available to succeeding generations."

The Tee A. Corinne Prize: A new prize has been created to honor Tee A. Corinne, an artist with bold vision and a fierce dedication to encouraging and preserving lesbian art. The Tee A. Corinne Prize for Lesbian Media Artists, established by Moonforce Media, will award unrestricted grants of up to $1,000 annually. JEB (Joan E. Biren) will choose the inaugural prize winner. Application guidelines are online. Applications are due by November 1, 2006.
The prize is for artists working in photography, film, video, digital media, new media, or any fusions of these forms and in any genre including documentary, narrative, experimental, or any other styles or combination of genres. The work may be about any subject.
Lesbian media artists are usually excluded from funding opportunities because the form and/or content of their work lie outside the bounds of traditional grantmaking. This prize furthers Tee’s wish that individual lesbian artists be financially supported to work independently and without censorship.
