He attended night school at the Cleveland School of Art and subsequently received a scholarship to attend full-time, 1929–32. In 1932, the year he began printmaking, he attended the George Pearce Ennis School in Eastport, Maine, where he and Walter Richards studied lithography with Stow Wengenroth. Continuing his art studies at night at the Huntington Polytechnic Institute, Dohanos worked at several commercial art agencies in Cleveland, including the Greene Art Studios and Tranquillini Art Studios. He left Cleveland in 1934 to pursue commercial art work in New York City. In 1936 he was commissioned by the Treasury Department to paint watercolors for the Federal Building in the Virgin Islands. He also made murals for the Forest Service Building in Elkins, West Virginia, and a post office in West Palm Beach, Florida. He exhibited prints and watercolors in annual exhibitions in Philadelphia, Chicago, New York City, and Cleveland, including May Shows at the Cleveland Museum of Art (1929–35). He was a member of the Cleveland Society of Artists and a director of the Cleveland Print Makers. In 1942, following his move to Westport, Connecticut, he pursued a career as a free-lance graphic artist, and his work appeared in Fortune, Good Housekeeping, Life, McCall’s, New Yorker, and Saturday Evening Post. He also designed and supervised the production of postage stamps during his tenure on the Postmaster General’s Citizen Stamp Advisory Committee. In 1973 he was inducted into the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame. Dohanos died in Westport.
