Dahlov Ipcar: Part One


I got to meet Dahlov Ipcar today! Her home is full of art, animal figurines, chess books, and plants. I especially loved this wood block print (my favorite of her work!) and it was also great to see all of her fanciful soft scuptures of dragons, bulls, and other creatures. At 92, Ipcar is fiesty and opinionated, full of personality and still hard at work on a new series of paintings; she also has a new children's book due out in the fall. I was totally inspired. More pictures when my film gets developed.
