Jeb Breithaupt, B. Arch., MBA, and the firm bearing his name, are endpoints of a non-traditional career path. During his high school years, where his focus was on art, he worked in his father’s contracting firm drafting plans and served as a laborer on construction sites. Jeb has been designing homes since 1971.
Jeb earned a degree in Architecture and a Master of Business Administration degree at Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge in 1980 and 1981. While all of this was in progress, Jeb began to create copper plate etchings to produce prints that reflected his love of Louisiana and its culture.
After marriage to Robin in 1978, Jeb and Robin moved to Dallas, Texas to pursue printmaking as his career. With six agents and sales in 45 states, Canada, and overseas, he also held art shows, two of which were in New York City. By 1984, almost 9,000 of his etchings were in collections throughout the U.S. Today, he estimates that over 11,000 of his etchings, originals, and reproductions are in private collections.
The death of Jeb’s father, Joe, in 1983 led Jeb to return to Shreveport to carry on a family business that started in 1953. Jeb continued his love for art through the design of unique custom homes and shared his enthusiasm for his work in community college classrooms, offering classes on designing, remodeling, and building custom homes.
