About Michael Doering

Michael Doering is a mixed media artist living and working in Reno, Nevada. He is married with three sons and works primarily on two dimensional pieces through a variety of mediums, including acrylics, oils, pastels, charcoal, ink, collage, printmaking, and watercolors. Michael was born into a large middle class family in Mason City, Iowa where he learned the value of hard work. He attended and graduated from the University of Iowa with a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts degree with an emphasis in drawing and printmaking and a minor in mathematics and he was fortunate to have studied under Ben Moss and Virginia Myers. After graduation, Michael took a detour on his artistic journey by moving to Las Vegas, Nevada to pursue a career in education. During this time, he taught art and mathematics and he also served as a high school counselor and worked as a district-level administrator. While in Las Vegas, Michael earned two Master’s Degrees from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in Counseling and Educational Psychology and in Educational Leadership. In 2006, Michael moved to Reno, Nevada with his family to become a school principal and he ultimately rose to the level of Executive Director. In this role, he supervised and supported multiple schools and departments in a large urban school district and it was also during this time that he rekindled his passion for making art. He collaborates regularly with artists across the globe on social media and he is an active member of the Sierra Arts Foundation. Michael is an avid sportsman with a love of the outdoors and he is influenced by nature, history, cities, and the people he meets. He is passionate about cooking, music, reading, Tai Chi, and the study of Eastern philosophy. He loves all art, but is most influenced by the Post-Impressionists, Abstract Expressionists, and Pop Artists. “Although he reentered the art world at a later stage than many, he has caught up quickly by producing an impressive portfolio of unique and personal works of art!”
