'Render Loyalty' Exhibits Inspire Conservation by Creating a Connection with Endangered Species

December 13, 2016 by The Ant's Meow in Conservation

Art is transcendent. It has a way of creating an emotional and personal connection between the observer and subject. This powerful medium is what inspired photographer and conservationist, KT Merry, to raise global awareness and support for endangered species through fine film photography.

Her limited-edition series, Render Loyalty, premiered as one-night-only exhibits in New York City and Los Angeles, on November 17th and December 1st, respectively. All proceeds from the curated exhibits were donated to conservancy partners, Lewa Wildlife Conservancy (LEWA) and The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (DSWT), the world's two leading wildlife conservations located in Kenya.

In addition, 20% of all sales from renderloyalty.com will also be donated directly to its conservation partners.
