Description by Artist: ‘Right Handed Painter’ – depicts a female raven painting the world. It’s titled Right Handed Painter because in our culture left handed people were considered abnormal or deviant. When Raven first brought sun to the world, the darkness was gone but everything was still black. Raven solved the bleakness by painting the landscape. ”
