About Michael Kraus

Michael Kraus was born on the industrial shoreline of Muskegon, Michigan. After earning

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 Michael 

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.

The clouds hide the setting sun, diffusing the light on the fresh snow on the ground.  On a branch of the old, leafless maple tree sits an owl.  Watching and waiting.  Listening to every sounds.  Hoping to see an unaware squirrel or rabbit scamper by.  

This painting would look best in a space that is yellow, green, blue, purple, black, white, or wood.

After a long day of work in the Loop, I take the "L" train home.  It's so much better reading a book on public transit than fighting road rage in a traffic jam.  And today I'm just watching all the buildings pass by.  The brown line runs at street level in the alleys after the Western stop.  The alleys are somehow beautifully utilitarian.  

This painting would look best in a space that is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, white, beige, or wood

What’s black and white and red all over? A birch forest of course. Birch trees have always been a meditative source for me. Growing up, there was one outside my window that I would look at while daydreaming. And, when I needed to get away from the world I went to a grove of Birch trees to find refuge. I’ve always found the unique and nearly useless white tree interesting.

This painting would look best somewhere that light green, dark red, light yellow, blue, dark orange, dark purple, black, white, grey, beige, or wood.
