When picturing an artist’s roots, the automotive industry may not be the first career that comes to mind. But that is where Sedona painter Jack Durrwachter first developed many of his ideas for his well-known abstract art.

Durrwachter got his start at General Motors in Michigan. He was entered in an in-house education program that focused on design. Once he completed the course, he was selected out of his group to become one of the lead drafters at the Fisher Body Ornamentation Studio.

“When I got out of school, [GM] picked me because I could draw free-hand,” Durrwachter said.
