Biography

Maria Sider-Rose began painting icons over 30 years ago when she came back from Russia and the Baltics (as a student and Fulbright Scholar) Once back in the states, she was able to travel to learn from different iconography teachers and completed an MDiv, specializing in iconography, at the University of Chicago Divinity School. Maria and her family of seven attend Saint Moses the Black Orthodox Mission Church in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she has been blessed by His Grace Bishop Thomas to serve in the ministry of iconography. In addition to taking icon commissions, Maria greatly enjoys walking with students of all ages on the journey to see better and more intentionally, through God’s grace.
