Our boat arrives at a pile of lava just off Sullivan Bay on Isla Santiago. A primordial wind-swept landscape dotted with sunbathing turtles and playful penguins. Our ascent up the wooden steps toward the summit is slow as iguanas, eagles, and other wildlife interrupt. Creatures weaving in and out of every lava formation and jagged cliff. And when we arrive at the summit, we must contemplate the magic of the Earth.
Michael Kraus was born on the industrial shoreline of Muskegon, Michigan. After earning his Fine Arts Degree from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, he attended Grand Valley State University for his graduate degree. From there, he gained varied experiences from the Chicago Architecture Foundation, Art Institute of Chicago, Hauenstein Center For Presidential Studies, Lollypop Farm Humane Society, and the Children's Memorial Foundation. And every place he worked, he had his sketchbook with him and found ways to be actively creative. In 2014, Kraus became a full-time artist by establishing Mike Kraus Art. Since then, he has sold hundreds of paintings that are displayed in nearly every state and dozens of countries. Currently, Kraus lives in Rochester, New York with his beautiful wife and goofy dog.
