My name is Maria Liuzzo Scorpo and I was born in a small Sicilian village in 1980. I am married and mother of a young woman. I have been teaching primary school for over twenty years. I have always intensely lived the relationship with the traditional values of a land that I carry in my heart even though I had to move to the north at the age of just over 20 for work reasons. Brushes, colors and art in general have accompanied and supported me in the dark moments of my life and continue to help me overcome adversity.
