Sunrise Drum has been a
business since 1985.
Paul René
and Andrea are enrolled in the Piqua Shawnee (state recognized tribe for
purposes of the US Indian Arts and Crafts Act).
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". See more:
