The transition from a business executive to a sculptor doesn’t appear to be a seamless one, but Corbin made the switch like a pro. Although he dabbles in myriad artistic endeavors, such as furniture, lighting and even candlesticks, Corbin is most known for his way with bronze. Sophisticated forms of animals, graceful women and mannequins are just a few pieces he has fashioned in his studio on Southwest Boulevard. Corbin’s collectors roster looks like an Oscar guest list, with Tom Hanks, Nicole Kidman and Jack Nicholson following his work. If he ever finds himself in Singapore, England or Hawaii, Corbin will see his handiwork in world headquarters, modern-day castles and luxurious hotels.
