Maria and I were sitting out by the old Apple Tree, taking in the beautiful, crisp autumn-like afternoon. She laid her leg across my knee as she often and her sneaker and sock were suddenly on my leg. Maria is an artist through and through, and her artistry permeates every part of her life.

Wow, I thought, there is more color and art in her foot and ankle than in many people’s lives. I think I bought her both sneaker and sock as a birthday gift one year, and that sweetened the moment for me. The color and statement is pure Maria Wulf.
