Kranias’ recent exhibitions include Matrilineal Hauntings at Schneider Haus Museum National Historic Site, A New Light: Canadian Women Artists at the Embassy of Canada Art Gallery in Washington D.C., and Essence at the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery.

Kranias is a featured Canadian artist with Homo Faber, and her work has been recognized in publications including Craft & Craftivism, ESPACE Art Actuel, Ceramics: Art + Perception, Studio: Craft and Design in Canada, and The Globe and Mail.

She earned her B.F.A. from Concordia University, B.Ed. from the University of Toronto, and M.A. from York University. An artist, educator, and art historian, Kranias has taught visual arts and ceramics for more than 20 years.

Kranias writes extensively on Canadian art and has contributed essays to journals, books, and exhibition catalogues, including Marcelle Ferron: Verre Fusionné/Fused Glass (2024, Éditions Simon Blais),
