"The detail and craftsmanship in Michelle's work is clearly visible hanging on the wall of our cottage for all our guests to see. Upon closer inspection, one can see the level of care with which she crafts her drums, adding to our sense of pride in showcasing her work. The story behind the drums is a special one to share, and the drums make a great party trick too when there are kids around!"

Michelle Tweed
Michelle's story is incredibly inspiring and powerful. Her deep connection to nature and the spiritual world shines through in her artistry and craftsmanship. It's beautiful to see how she infuses her cultural heritage and spiritual beliefs into her work, creating not just drums, but vessels of sacred energy and history.
Her journey of learning traditional drum making and understanding the profound significance of each element that goes into it is truly remarkable. The idea that every drum carries the energy and spirit of all the lives involved in its creation is a profound concept that speaks to the interconnectedness of all living beings.
Michelle's intention to inspire others to appreciate the beauty and wisdom of the natural world, as well as to honor indigenous traditions and teachings, is a noble cause. In a world that often neglects the importance of these connections, her work serves as a powerful reminder of the richness and depth of indigenous cultures and their profound respect for the earth and all its inhabitants.
By sharing her art and her story, Michelle is not only preserving her cultural heritage but also fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for indigenous wisdom and ways of being. Her drums are not just objects; they are conduits of history, spirituality, and unity, inviting us to pause, reflect, and remember our interconnectedness with all of creation.
