Otisco Lake Preserve

Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty

We hike this land that took care of the Haudenosaunee for countless generations. The settlers arrived and ripped out the living forest and it still nurtured their farms. And now we preserve this land so it can heal. A place for bald eagles and other water fowl to nest. To improve access and water quality of the lake. It is a gift that gives back to us.

Do you love nature? What has it given you? What do we lose if it’s gone? Can you imagine if nature loved you back and what that would look like?

Mike Kraus was born on the industrial shoreline of Muskegon, Michigan. After earning his Fine Arts Degree from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, he attended Grand Valley State University for his graduate degree. From there, he gained varied experiences from the Chicago Architecture Center, Art Institute of Chicago, Hauenstein Center For Presidential Studies, Lollypop Farm Humane Society, and the Lurie Children’s Foundation. And every place he worked, he had his sketchbook with him and found ways to be actively creative. In 2014, Kraus became a full-time artist by establishing Mike Kraus Art. Since then, he has sold thousands of paintings that are displayed in nearly every state and dozens of countries. Currently, Kraus lives in Rochester, New York with his beautiful wife and goofy dog.
