Ruby Red


Ruby Red is a modern take on the Lunar New Year for 2023, pulling together the colors that evoke many good things in life.  Red symbolizes fire, good fortune, & joy. Gold symbolizes wealth and prosperity. The green eyes evoke Jade, a most treasured stone, which brings success & good luck. The red ruby gemstones (they are not REAL rubies) connote passion and happiness. They also ward off evil spirits and negative energy. The artist was born in a rabbit year, and feels a strong connection to the symbolism it portrays.
