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.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty


HAPPY NEW YEAR

We've accomplished so much together in 2022.  And that's a great reason to celebrate.  It's good to acknowledge all we've learned from our obstacles too.  These stumbling blocks are opportunities for growth in 2023.  I expect it to be a great adventure for us.


Thank you for being you.  I'm so grateful to have you in my life.


Your Friend,
Mike Kraus
