Each morning I climb toward the sunrise with the same steady purpose that brought me here, carrying the faces of my family on my helmet and the hope that my work helps shape a home for them. The rhythm of lifting shingles and securing each nail feels small on its own, yet together these quiet labors become part of a larger story that hands have written across America. I think about how each roof I finish protects someone’s dreams and how every day spent building lifts me a little closer to my own.

When the light breaks across the sky, I cannot help but wonder what part of the United States we each choose to build with the work of our hands and the direction of our hearts?

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.
