Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty

How do tariffs, inflation, and purposeful economic chaos impact us? I wake up and put on my clothes that are suddenly more expensive and a breakfast that keeps costing more. I drive to work in a car that needs to be replaced, but not at these prices. I’d ask for a raise if it wasn’t for the rumors of upcoming layoffs. Like my friends and neighbors, we’ve been tightening our belt buying less outfits, electronics, and restaurant dinners. The Bear and Bull are in a vicious battle. And we can only watch from the sidelines for the inevitable.

My Story
I’m Mike, the Artist of Mike Kraus Art Inc.

I’ve been making art since I was old enough to hold a crayon. I’d fill countless sketchbooks with drawings, cover school assignments with doodles, and publish magazines and print flyers for my friend’s bands. And then, I became an “adult…” The demands of food and rent seemed to require a “serious job.” For years, I languished in a cubicle performing meaningless tasks for a meager salary.

But, art was always my side hustle. I started selling my artwork in junior high between classes. I’d create original pieces during lectures and commissions instead of homework. Oddly enough, being a poor student is what got me into the prestigious School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Inspired by my past history, I quit my career and took another part-time job as a cashier of a big-box store because it had the least amount of responsibility. The rest of my time I spent painting. After several months, I had to quit this low-wage job too because it was getting in the way of my art.

I decided to be a full-time professional artist. I needed the time to paint, collaborate with my patrons and galleries, and maintain my studio. Since then, I’ve sold thousands of paintings that are displayed in nearly every state and dozens of countries. I’m very fortunate to have a career dedicated to adding more beauty to the world. And I hope to share that experience with you.
