J. OzWALD GRAVES

"This planet is my friend," says world traveller and recent Portland transplant Ozwald Graves. "I'm a hiker, camper, fisherman, and gardener- a friend of this earth. Landscape architecture is in my blood."

Graves comes to Walker Macy having lived in three different countries and seven different U.S. states. Graves graduated from Louisiana State University, where he developed a fascination with landscape architecture's ability to reflect and incorporate nature, from a microcosmic level to the human scale and beyond. In his spare time he is not only a naturalist but involved with visual arts, film, music, and hunting for mid-period modern treasures at estate sales.
