Michael Graves is a nationally-recognized landscape artist based in central Massachusetts. As a plein air artist, Graves paints on location, braving the elements, to capture the many moods and temperaments of the natural world. Although Graves has taken painting trips throughout North America, parts of Europe, and Asia, his favorite subjects continue to be of the simple farms, bucolic vistas, and rugged coasts of his native New England. Born in 1952, the son of a local tree warden, Graves grew up with a love of painting and a deep appreciation for the outdoors.
