Dahlov   Ipcar

    Good afternoon my name is Dahlov Ipcar.   I am 86 years old. 
     I was born on November 12, 1917 in  Wendor, Vermont.  I grew up in New York City in Greenwich Village.   I spent many summers on the Maine Coast.  My father  William was a sculptor and my mother Marguerite was a painter. 
     Even though I am a good artist, I was never enrolled in art lessons.  I  was   accepted to  Walden and Lincoln Teachers College.   I also attended Oberlin College.
     The reason I am famous is because I am represented in  all leading art museums  in   Maine.  I illustrated The Little Fisherman and 30 children’s books.
      I was born during  World  War I.  35,000 Mainers served in  World War I.  During World II, 95,000 Mainers served.   I was there when  World  War II started and also in 1948  when Margaret Chase Smith was elected to the U.S. Senate.  
       I was married after college.   I married Adolph, and I had kids named Robert and Charles.  I moved to Georgetown, Maine.  To this day, I am still painting.
