He never formally studied painting yet he developed a strong interest in the abstract expressionists, particularly De Kooning, while he was in college. He attended the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, in part to escape the city. After college he spent a year in Italy and upon returning to New York City worked for Arts and then Art News, while painting at night. He had his first show in 1960. After spending time on the South Fork in the Hamptons, Dash bought a two-acre property with an 18th-century hay barn and sheds on Sagg Main Street in 1966 in Sagaponack, NY. He would tame it to create a natural, organic garden, that he eventually opened up to the public as the Madoo — which means "My Dove" in Scottish. He painted, wrote and gardened near Sagg Pond on eastern Long Island, at residence among the changeable celebration of plantings, paths, views and architectural expressions of Madoo, a much-admired garden conservatory of his own making. A longtime Hamptons resident, Dash’s works have been exhibited in one-man exhibitions in Holland, England, and Germany as well as numerous major American art galleries. He also participated in many group exhibitions including the Museum of Modern Art, Yale University and the Fine Arts Gallery University of Missouri. His works are also featured in museum permanent collections including the The Butler Institute, Modern Art Museum, Munich; Guggenheim Museum; Boston Museum of Fine Arts; Philadelphia Museum of Fine Arts; Yale University Art Museum and the Corcoran Gallery
