HAPPY JUNETEENTH!  On Saturday June 19th, let's celebrate 155 years of freedom for everyone in the United States.  A day to barbeque, play games and sing.  To learn about our shared history and remember those generations who needlessly suffered.  And to renew our oath to freedom, justice, and equality.  To learn more about Juneteenth, visit: https://www.vox.com/2020/6/18/21294825/history-of-juneteenth


Mike 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.
