Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty

Where this path will end is a mystery. The trees rustle in the breeze stirring up the aromas of the forest. A freshness one always has to remind themselves of in civilization. The light refracts in strange ways at this time. Itโ€™s when the surreal becomes the real.

Is there a place you go to relax? Is it wide-open or cozy? What do you see, hear, smell, and feel when you are there? Is it a place where you can be by yourself? What about it makes you feel good?

My Story
Iโ€™m Mike, the Artist of Mike Kraus Art Inc.

Iโ€™ve been making art since I was old enough to hold a crayon. Iโ€™d fill countless sketchbooks with drawings, cover school assignments with doodles, and publish magazines and print flyers for my friendโ€™s bands. And then, I became an adultโ€ฆ The demands of food and rent seemed to require a โ€œserious job.โ€ For years, I languished in a cubicle performing meaningless tasks for a meager salary.

Until one day, my boss insulted me. After years of being yelled at, micromanaged, and โ€œthrown under the busโ€ for their incompetence; I had enough. 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 business.

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, Iโ€™ve sold thousands of paintings that are displayed in nearly every state and dozens of countries. Iโ€™m very fortunate to have a career dedicated to adding more beauty to the world. And I hope to share that experience with you.
