About Michael Kraus

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.
