- Dorie Dahlberg grew up in New Jersey on the Atlantic coast, a crowded summer destination for New Yorkers and North Jersey vacationers although quite desolate in the off-seasons. She interrupted her university education to live in the cold northern Midwest of the US and the deserts of the Southwest. She returned to New Jersey to finish a Bachelor of Fine Arts, at Rutgers University, drawing/intaglio concentration. For 25 years, Dorie was an art educator in Newark Public Schools, an urban district in the New York City area. She attended graduate school at Pratt Institute (NYC) & completed a Master of Education Administration at St. Peter’s University. For 21 years Dorie lived in metro NYC, where she raised her daughter. At present, Dorie is an adjunct professor at New Jersey City University, President of Pro Arts Jersey City, an artist-run non-profit organization, and a resident of the Jersey Shore once again.
