Irina Mikhailovna Ageyeva (maiden name) was born in Russia, in the small town of Dyatkovo, which has long been famous for its crystal products. She developed an inclination towards painting at an early age, and studied it independently and during lessons at a children's art school. Parents did not allow her to leave and enter a prestigious university, but as an adult (Usova, her married name) she graduated from the Art and Craft Department of the Pedagogical University in Bryansk. Worked as a designer in various spheres. Additional education - courses in design at MGTU (Moscow State Technical University) named after Bauman. For a long time engaged in design of graphics and web-design. Now enthusiasm for painting and teaching. Moved from Moscow to the Crimea. In Moscow participated in two exhibitions of painting within the Christian Theatre Festival in 2008 and 2011. The second was a solo exhibition. I have over 500 paintings, many of which are owned in Russia, and some in the US, Germany and China. All works are originals, I rarely make copies.
