Jacob Colburn

Born in Austin Texas, Jacob Colburn was raised in the arts by his father, renowned metal sculptor Daryl G. Colburn. As a child he spent many hours in his studio, attended art shows with his dad, and learned the art of selling the work his father made. One of Jacob's fondest memories was sitting mesmerized by flames shooting out of the mouth and nose of a copper dragon his father was creating. This led Jacob to soon begin making small metal sculptures of his own such as copper spiders and roses which he sold.

In 2007 Jacob began an apprenticeship under his father and also began creating on his own. Together they started Colburn Studios and began showcasing their art in many galleries and shows. In 2011, Daryl Colburn passed away suddenly. Though heartbroken, Jacob has carried on the Colburn art name in his honor.

He is now showcasing on his own and has created pieces for St. Theresa's Catholic School and for the Austin Marathon.
