Paul has been learning and creating traditional art work since he was a child. Much of his work is inspired by traditional designs of the Eastern Woodland including Wôbenaki ('People  of the East' or 'Dawn'), Shawnee, and Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Peoples. He is inspired also by his his French artist ancestors his great-grandfather René T. deQuelin and his grandmother Madeline deQuelin Tamburro. The name 'Sunrise Drum' is a simplified version of Paul's Indian name. Andrea is most inspired by the material culture of the mid-western and southern Shawnee, Lenape, Mingo and Cherokee.  Paul's mark used on all of his art pieces is similar to the logo at the top - sunrise around a drum - this reminds him of some of his Native ancestors who lived on the East side of Newfoundland (as sunrise as you can get on Turtle Island - North America!).  Also, the French name René is for "reborn" and Tamburro means "drum".
