Bio:
Robin Olive Reich’s deep love for animals, and greyhounds in particular, led her to pick up her first camera in 2018 and travel to the deadliest greyhound racetrack on the planet, the Canidrome in Macau, where 18,000 greyhounds had been killed. There she created heartfelt images of the 532 surviving greyhounds that were abandoned when the track was forced to shut down, helping them to find homes, and raising awareness of their plight not only in Macau, but around the world. She continues to make images that share our deepest spiritual and emotional connections with animals and the natural world, connections that so many have lost. She is a longtime volunteer at a local greyhound rescue group and travels to Spain making images that bring light to the suffering of Galgos (Spanish greyhounds). She lives on Whidbey Island with her Welsh husband, two rescued greyhounds and two very talkative cats. Her award-winning work is published and exhibited in the United States and abroad.
Statement
It is my hope that the light through my lens illuminates human hearts and creates images that raise awareness so that they may be moved to protect and care for all the magnificent creatures of this earth.
