Top Ten Left-Handed Artists You Should Know
AUGUST 13Â is International Lefthanders Day! The holiday was first observed on this day in 1976 as an effort to promote awareness of the inconveniences facing left-handers in a predominantly right-handed world. It is often speculated that lefties are right-brain dominant – the side of the brain linked to non-verbal thinking, artistic ability, and creative skills.
So southpaws, celebrate your uniqueness along with the other 7-10% of the world’s left-handed population, including these 10 artists:
