I remember sitting with these gerbera daisies and noticing how their petals shifted from a soft blush to a deeper violet as the light moved across them, almost like they were breathing with the day. The black centers felt like quiet little universes, pulling me in as the petals reached outward in a kind of joyful stretch. I could almost hear the whisper of a warm breeze moving through a summer garden, carrying that sweet earthy scent that lingers on your skin. Flowers always remind me of moments that feel both fleeting and endless at the same time.
Do you have a flower that instantly brings you back to a memory you never want to let go of?

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.
