About the Instructor
Mariia Usova is an educator and interdisciplinary artist working across glass sculpture, oil painting, and silk embroidery. Drawing on her training in fine arts and continental philosophy, her work investigates traces of temporality and human subjectivity through materials that retain the memory of their liquid origins, from molten glass to pigment and silk. Usova holds an MFA from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC)  and a dual BA in Liberal Arts from Bard College (NY) and Saint Petersburg State University, Smolny College. She is currently pursuing a PhD in Philosophy, Art, and Critical Thought at the European Graduate School in Switzerland. She has taught at the Walters Art Museum, Loyola University Maryland, UMBC, and the Keswick Multi-Care Center.
