A late evening at the fire pit is acknowledging the past, dreaming of my future self, and appreciating the moment now. Enjoying a cold drink and a sweet marshmallow on a s’more. We share stories of former stupid acts and false beliefs to entertain and enlighten. Listening to each other and the cracks and pops of the flames. This reflection is how we prepare to be better tomorrow.

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 Foundation, Art Institute of Chicago, Hauenstein Center For Presidential Studies, Lollypop Farm Humane Society, and the Children’s Memorial 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.
