Maria Laura Sanapo was born in Castiglione del Lago in Italy. As a child she loved music and drawing superheroes and she was used to copiyng illustration before she learned how to read and write. She studied foreign languages at the secondary school (she speaks English, German and Spanish) and she took a degree in languages at the University of Siena. After that, she decided to follow her real vocation attending two of three years of the International School of Comics in Florence and then, taking lessons from her menthor and husband Marco Santucci.
She's really passionate about music and Opera and she performs in her free time.
She worked for Dynamite and DC Comics, illustrating titles including Dc Bombshells, Wonder-Woman, Batwoman, Vampirella, Red Sonja. She worked also for Archie Comics , Titan Comics, Valiant and Zenescope
