I still remember standing on the beach in Puerto Vallarta, toes buried in the warm sand, watching the sky slowly turn into this glowing blend of coral, gold, and deep flame. The palm trees stood perfectly still, like they were holding their breath with the rest of us, waiting for the sun to slip below the edge. It felt like one of those rare moments when time presses pause and lets you just take it all in.
Have you ever caught a sunset so vivid that it made you want to stay right where you were, just a little longer?

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.
