Usmar received a BFA from University of Rhode Island with a focus in photography and filmmaking. She has exhibited at numerous institutions across the U.S., including Rhode Island Center For Photographic Arts, Newport Art Museum, The Griffin Museum, Hera Gallery, Waterfire Arts Center and The Curated Fridge. Her work has been published in The New Republic, Lenscratch and The Luupe.
