A. Thomas Schomberg is a sculptor who resides in Colorado.[1] Schomberg grew up in America's mid-west during the 1940s and 1950s. After studying for a short time in Europe and completing both MA and MFA degrees, Schomberg moved to the east coast to teach at a progressive community college. Although he received tenure, in 1975 he relocated to Colorado where he established Schomberg Studios with his wife, Cynthia, who is also his agent.
