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

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.

Our bikes race up and down the gentle hills of Provence.  Everything has a distinct texture, the colors are vibrant, and the perfume in the air is intoxicating.  And every twisting road we turn down has countless rows of purple and blue lavender.  The heat of the Mediterranean sun presses against our backs as we pedal back to the village of Sault.  I'll never forget the fields of France.

This piece would look best in a small-to-medium space that is red, orange, yellow, green, dark blue, deep purple, black, white, grey, beige, or wood

He has lots of wonderful memories and people in his life.  And he wanted something to symbolize that in his home.  After some thought, he was inspired.  He and his girlfriend shared a favorite childhood movie.  What if he had a painting made with his girlfriend as the main character?  And their cat could be added as well!  It's a fun piece that turns a house into a home.
