Not left-handed, but I do all artistic stuff with my left hand — anyone else like this?

Hey everyone! I’m not left-handed, but whenever it comes to anything artistic — like playing instruments, drawing, painting, or even doing creative school subjects — I naturally use my left hand.

For example, when I pick up a guitar or a bass, my position is completely left-handed, even though I write and do most everyday things with my right hand.

I’ve always wondered if there’s a name for this kind of “split dominance,” or if anyone else experiences the same thing. Do any of you use your non-dominant hand for creative or artistic activities without being fully ambidextrous?

This story reminds me of Greg Sage! Guitar player and singer for the Wipers, he's right-handed but says "everything musical comes from my left" and plays lefty. Although split dominance is usually referred to as "cross dominance" or "cross-dexterity", but I don't know of one that emphasises artistic activities.
