Additional Information: Employing a unique combination of techniques, this work is a stunning example of both the artist’s signature style and subject matter. Raven states, “My work is a world of experimentation and discovery.  The pensive horse, the apprehensive deer, the risky sunlight…. The rock, it mirrors man’s first attempt at creation, unique beside the natural world…. Each work opens up a multidimensional interpretation, a flow not needing language.... Sometimes a window appears, carrying the message even further. The tactile quality of the work makes one feel to touch….  My hope is that the onlooker will use the work to help in enriching self-awareness, discovery, and harmony.”   In this particular piece, the delicate figures scratched into the flat, boldly colored surface are evocative of ancient cave paintings. This is a true collector’s statement piece.
