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 thousands 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.

540WMain Art Show Reminder

Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty


I'd like to invite you to my 540WMain art show opening.  My 
Brightscapes series is inspired by May being Chronic Pain Awareness
Month.  I wanted to create something to alleviate that chronic pain.
For people to imagine wandering around southern France.  To have
the warm sensation of the sun while hiking through fields of lavender.
To see amazing medieval towns as the waves of the Mediterranean
splash against the beach.  To be transported somewhere away from
that chronic pain they may be experiencing.  
So, please join us:


Sunday, May 6th at 4pm
