Shawn & April Raba – Artists & Founders of Custom Copper Creations
Shawn and April Raba are the creative force behind Custom Copper Creations, a unique art business specializing in handcrafted copper artwork inspired by nature and the sea. As a husband-and-wife team, their shared passion for art, saltwater adventures, and family fuels everything they do.
Whether it’s fishing, diving, or simply being near the ocean, Shawn and April draw deep inspiration from the coastal lifestyle—reflected in the texture, movement, and warmth of their copper pieces. Their love for travel and the outdoors shines through in each design, capturing the spirit of the sea and the freedom of the open road.
Together with their family, they travel across the United States participating in art shows, embracing the joy of creating and connecting with others. For the Rabas, Custom Copper Creations is more than a business—it’s a way of life rooted in creativity, adventure, and togetherness.
The Raba Kids – Young Artists & Creative Entrepreneurs
The Raba kids are an essential part of the Custom Copper Creations team, bringing energy, creativity, and heart to every piece and every show. Growing up surrounded by art, tools, and the spirit of adventure, they’ve learned the craft of working with copper hands-on—helping design, shape, and assemble the artwork alongside their parents, Shawn and April.
Beyond the workshop, they play a key role in running the booth at art shows across the country. From setting up displays to talking with customers and handling sales, the Raba kids have become seasoned pros in the art show world. Their involvement adds a special touch to the family business, turning each event into a fun and collaborative experience.
Whether they’re helping forge a new design or welcoming visitors with a smile, the Raba kids help make Custom Copper Creations a true family affair—built on teamwork, creativity, and a love for the journey.
