Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty
🍾🥂 Let's make 2026 a beautiful year! 🥂🍾
We are standing at the edge of something new, and I wanted to pause with you for a moment before we step forward together.
The world can feel loud, rushed, and heavy at times. It is easy to carry more than we should, to scroll past what matters, or to lose touch with what feels honest and nourishing. Most of us sense it when something feels off, even if we cannot name it right away. When we ignore that feeling, we drift further from ourselves and from one another.
What has helped me is slowing down and choosing intention over noise. Asking simple questions. What do I want to grow? What do I want to protect? What kind of beauty feels true right now? Small moments of reflection have a way of opening doors we did not realize were closed.
When we make space for that kind of attention, good things happen. We feel steadier. More curious. More connected. The future stops feeling abstract and starts feeling like something we are shaping together. That is where creativity lives and where community strengthens.
As we look ahead, I keep thinking about how much lighter things feel when we allow ourselves a little grace and a little curiosity about what comes next.
I am grateful you are here with me. Truly. Sharing this moment, this pause, and this hope makes what comes next feel lighter and more meaningful. There is a lot ahead of us, and I am glad we are moving toward it together.

My Story
Hi, I’m Mike the artist of Mike Kraus Art Inc.
I’ve been making art since I could hold a crayon. As a kid, I’d fill every notebook, homework margin, and scrap of paper with doodles. I sold my first artwork in junior high, sketching in class and handing off pieces between periods. That early love for making things never faded. I followed it all the way to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and eventually, I decided to stop treating art as a side hustle and make it my life’s work.
My paintings are full of energy, motion, and saturated color. I’m drawn to bold shapes and organic lines—forms that feel alive. I create with the hope that my work brings something beautiful and uplifting into someone’s day. Whether it’s a spark of joy, a moment of calm, or just a splash of color that makes you pause—I want my art to connect with something real.
Now, I’m lucky enough to paint full-time, with collectors across the U.S. and in dozens of countries around the world. But more than anything, I still feel like that kid with a crayon, excited to create. I’m grateful to share this journey with you—and I hope you find something in my work that makes your world a little brighter.
