69, who began pursuing ceramics after
retiring in 1999 as a Russian teacher.
"I took a pottery class but didn't like
it. I found that I could follow my own
instincts and do what I wanted."
Kronik's positive outlook came
after years of struggle and hard work.
Raised and educated in Russia, where
she earned a doctorate in philology,
she and her family were allowed to
move to the United States in 1976 after
two years of trying.
While her husband, Tony, was
employed as an automotive engineer,
she taught Russian at the University
of Detroit Mercy and Birmingham
Seaholm High School.
As the couple settled into their new
country, their daughter, Olga, became a
nurse, married Paul Friedman and had
three children. The Kroniks embraced
their new relatives and the chance to
enter into Jewish rituals.
"I finally have enough time to work
with clay more or less full time," says
Kronik, who recently triumphed over
serious illness. "I have participated in
shows at the Lawrence Street Gallery
and Schoolcraft College."
