Every morning, George Washington stands frozen in bronze, watching the canyon of steel and glass awaken below him. From his perch on Wall Street, he faces the mighty columns of the New York Stock Exchange—stoic, resolute, and ever curious about the tides of fortune rolling through the streets he once walked in leather boots. The low hum of the city rises with the sun, flags flutter in the warm breeze, and the scent of roasted coffee drifts between skyscrapers—fuel for another day of decisions and dreams. I can’t help but wonder, if he could speak, would he marvel at the sheer speed of today’s market, or ask us what legacy we're building with each trade and handshake?

My Story
Hi, I’m Mike—the artist of Mike Kraus Art Inc.
I’ve been making art since I could hold a crayon. As a kid, I’d fill every notebook, homework margin, and scrap of paper with doodles. I sold my first artwork in junior high, sketching in class and handing off pieces between periods. That early love for making things never faded. I followed it all the way to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and eventually, I decided to stop treating art as a side hustle and make it my life’s work.
My paintings are full of energy, motion, and saturated color. I’m drawn to bold shapes and organic lines—forms that feel alive. I create with the hope that my work brings something beautiful and uplifting into someone’s day. Whether it’s a spark of joy, a moment of calm, or just a splash of color that makes you pause—I want my art to connect with something real.
Now, I’m lucky enough to paint full-time, with collectors across the U.S. and in dozens of countries around the world. But more than anything, I still feel like that kid with a crayon, excited to create. I’m grateful to share this journey with you—and I hope you find something in my work that makes your world a little brighter.
