John Dorish is a New York City based artist whose painting and etchings reflect the drama and mood of the city around him.

Born in Pittsburgh, PA in December 1947, Mr. Dorish had no formal art training.  He sold his first paintings while a student at Clarion University of PA, where he received his BA degree in Humanities in 1970.

In 1977, he moved to New York where he established a studio on 13^th Street and began studying Printmaking at the Art Student’s League.

In 1998, Mr. Dorish’s painting “Still Life Migration III” won first prize in Smithtown, NY’s 23^rd annual juried competition.  In 2000, another painting from the same body of work won “Best of Show” at Aqueous 2000 in Pittsburgh.

In 1999, Mr. Dorish was commissioned to paint three large paintings for the US Tennis Association in Flushing Meadow, New York.

Most recently, his etching “Blue Moon” was purchased by the New York Public Library for their permanent print collection.
