Work by painter Mary Lou Dauray of California is showcased today in June's Artist Watch column at the international online art magazine Escape Into Life.

Deeply concerned about global warming, nuclear power, pollution, and other human-caused destructive forces around the world and especially in the United States, Mary Lou uses her art "to increase awareness about the ways we are destroying our planet—our home. I create artworks that present a very different view from what is found in the scientific and academic worlds, and I hope that within the challenging process of making my art I will discover in some small way how to make the world a safer place." An award-winning painter, Mary Lou shares with us a selection of work from her "National Parks" series.

Today's Artist Watch includes, in addition to seven images of recent paintings, Mary Lou's Artist Statement, biographical profile, and links to social media.
