Golden Eagle Art Gallery is pleased to offer an extensive collection of world-renowned artworks by Canadian wildlife artist, Robert Bateman.  World-travelled and well versed, Bateman always tells a great story about each of his creations. Here is what he has to say about this piece:

"Along the western coast of British Columbia are lands native to the Haida Indian and their clans, one of which is the clan of the Raven. The raven has a privileged position in many native cultures as a trickster - he is the hero of disorder, transformation and change. In legend, it is the raven who found mankind in a clamshell, cracked it open and released us into the world. Out of the darkness of the forest flies the dark raven, painted dark against dark. Is it the raven or the spirit of the raven?"
