Tiger theme
A fascination with Chinese New year animals is a continuing
theme throughout my printmaking and this ‘Tiger Time'
print now joins other animals in this increasing Sona Beam collection.
Year of the Tiger
Chinese zodiac animals have lucky meanings.
Chinese people associate each animal with certain characteristics and
It's believed that people born in a given year have the personality
of that year's animal.
According to the Chinese zodiac story, a competition was
held by the Jade Emperor to decide the order of the zodiac animals,
The order of the 12 animals in the Chinese calendar are
Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat,
Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig
Tigers are associated with courage, charm,
with a sense of justice and responsibility.
