Steve passed away recently from a heart attack, and we offer our sincere condolences to all who knew him.
"We are devastated to hear of Steve's passing," said Eric Rhoads, CEO of Streamline Publishing, and a friend of Steve. "Steve had a huge positive impact and influence in the art world as editor of American Artist for 42 years and PleinAir for seven. He has known and interviewed every major living artist in the last 50 years, including Andrew Wyeth. He has thousands of friends in the art world and will be deeply missed. Our condolences to Sara and his family."

"It was a daunting prospect to step into his shoes at PleinAir, but he could not have been warmer, more welcoming, or more generous as we made the transition: Me to carry on the legacy he'd created at the magazine, and him to painting full time and devoting more time to his choir."
|  | M. Stephen Doherty majored in art at Knox College in Galesburg, IL, and graduated summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa. He then earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in printmaking from Cornell University in Ithaca, NY; taught art in public schools, a community college, and at Knox; worked in the marketing department of a company that manufactured screen printing art supplies; and then moved to a suburb of New York City. He was the editor of American Artist magazine and launched three other art magazines: Watercolor, Drawing, and Workshop. He later became Editor-in-Chief of PleinAir magazine and moved to the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. |  |
