An Artful Fundraiser by Cari Stebbins
The wonderful and generous artist, Anngharaad “Annie” Reid has teamed up with National Samoyed Rescue to bring all of us a series of four limited edition prints featuring our beautiful, beloved Samoyeds. The proceeds from the sales of these prints will benefit NSR and in return, benefit all of the rescues affiliated with them.
In September 2005, National Samoyed Rescue began sales of the first in a series of limited edition prints, numbered & complete with a certificate of authenticity. There will only be 100 prints made for each in the series.
Annie Reid, a very accomplished artist who has captured the beauty of our breed & the relationship we humans have with them in “The Cherished Samoyed” has graciously agreed to donate the profits for this print & the three to follow to National Samoyed Rescue.
Growing up, Annie had two passions – drawing and her Samoyed, Nikki. Unfortunately, it took her a long time to combine these two loves of hers, but when she finally did and drew the animated expression of her Samoyed, Beau, the result was magical.
Samoyeds are Annie’s favorite subject; she loves capturing their many moods and distinct personalities. Her drawings of them are intimate and personal, suggesting very long, close and warm relationships with her Samoyeds and a genuine admiration and respect for the breed. "I adore my Sammies. They are my darlings, my loves, my chuisle."
Annie lives in Connecticut, with her husband, Ron, and their Samoyeds, Cornelia and Tristan. She is a member of the Samoyed Club of America and the Minuteman Samoyed Club. Her background includes a degree in Art from Smith College.
