There are no limits to be an artist. Even, if you are blind.

Uniqueness of history of Lizy Fittipaldi consists that the woman has ceased to see in 1993, and for the first time took in hands a brush two years later – in 1995. Being the diplomaed bookkeeper and a financial analyst, Liza together with sight has lost work, independence and meaning of the life. Its long depression lasted more year while once the husband hasn't brought to it a children's water colour set. To general surprise, Liza took in hands a brush and has started to draw.

It couldn't study techniques of painting, observing of actions of the teacher, couldn't see a picture. But it hasn't stopped the woman, and in exchange she has thought up own system of training: listened to audio versions of books about art and visited together with the husband the well-known museums for which she never found time in the previous life. To be guided in a composition of the future picture, Liza pulled on a canvas of a grid from ropes, but in due course has learned to manage and without them.
