Skin Stories
Several Jackson's chameleons made their homes in the burgundy plant that lined my garden walkway in Nairobi. I was always transfixed by the males' color displays - the bright chartreuse of mating and dominance - while sitting on this plant, drawing your eye to the patterns of their skin.

About Artist
Laura Merz
From a young age, I wanted to save the rainforest, conserve the wild, and protect the planet. As I an adult, I have lived around the world falling more in love with nature, and gradually fell into a career in photography. It became clear that this could be my medium to invoke change, to remind people of what we so desperately need to protect and I regularly donate my work and profits to conservation initiatives.
