From there, he gained varied experiences from the Chicago Architecture Center, Art Institute of Chicago, Hauenstein Center For Presidential Studies, Lollypop Farm Humane Society, and the Lurie Children's 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.

Did you know that many of my works have never been shared publicly?  This may happen for many reasons: business contract requirements, security, surprise gift, patron's personal request, and so many more.  These artworks are created, shipped, and displayed privately.  In a few cases, my work is locked away in vaults with no plans to ever be viewed.  Once my creations leave my studio, they take on lives of their own.  Many are very unique and different from my other works.  What kind of art am I unable to show you?

Sometimes, living in Upstate New York is like living in a postcard. Every trail we hike reveals the beauty of nature. Dense forests give way to open fields. We find a comfortable spot to snack and take in all the sights, sounds, smells, and feel of the lake. "If this isn't nice, what is?"

Where is your favorite place? Who do you go there with? Why is it so special to you? How does it make you feel?

There's nothing better than gathering around the table for a evening of healthy competition.  We groan at our bad luck with the dice.  And there's so much laughter when things take an unexpected turn.  No matter who wins, at the end of the night we're all a little bit closer after quality time together.  What are your family's favorite board game?

Paddling along Skaneateles Lake's shore, the water barely makes a noise as our kayaks cut through.  We stop at Staghorn Cliffs to relax, snack on trail mix, and enjoy a Riesling grown and bottled on the other side of the lake.  Our conversation drifts in and out of seriousness.  We scan the shore for fossils and trying to absorb nature's relaxation.  We're very fortunate to have this gift.  

How do you see our land?  Is it just real estate, food source, something to mine, home, or part of your identity?  How do you treat it?  What is good for the land is good for us.

This painting would look best in an average space that is red, yellow, orange, green, dark blue, white, black, grey, beige, or wood.
