Thomas Joerger – Sculptures, Pictures & Objects –
Is at home in Switzerland. His studio “tom-art” can be found there.

As a child and a young man, he observed and assisted his father (architect) in numerous and varied design and renovation projects. Working on old homes, he learned to work with stone, wood, iron   and a variety of other building materials.  His slogan was “learning by doing,” and my life was completely filled with artistic quest.

The painter Silke Glättli and his teacher Wilhelm Jaeger (artist) at the Zurich University of the Arts encouraged him to work freely and autodidactically, which he still does today with body and soul.
