Raised in a family that supported Wuthrich's interest in the arts, Dan Wuthrich has been painting since he was eight and at eleven had artwork featured in a Wisconsin newspaper article. After high school, Wuthrich continued his fine art studies at the Layton School of Art from 1954-1959 and at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 1961 taking courses in printmaking, English, speech and psychology. While maintaining his painting career, Wuthrich established a professional career as an engineer from 1965 to 1991, working for American Motors in Milwaukee and the Chrysler plant in Belvidere. Wuthrich’s art has been featured in galleries throughout Wisconsin, Illinois, Florida and Arizona.

Of his art he says: “I have found that by allowing my mind to take me where it wants to go, I find myself traveling down many paths that I have not visited, or perhaps have forgotten. The subject matter, and approach to these pieces varies greatly. I have begun to realize that there may be many roads that I have not traveled. Who knows what tomorrow might bring.”
