Current Work

Darwin and Rebecca started Sempervivus with the idea that a small business would allow the flexibility of making more artwork. This has turned out at times to be true and at other times false. Starting a small business was a challenge. We had to learn lots of things that had very little to do with making art. Although we have always been blessed with great word of mouth business from clients, finding jobs that fit into art making priorities at times made for some difficult choices and often amusing juggling acts.

Although there are days when we both wish we had never got distracted with the business of creating gardens, designing exhibit spaces, making websites, etc., all these experiences have offered creative opportunities that we might not otherwise have experienced if we had not taken the plunge 1990.

Currently Darwin is completing a series called 'Little Journeys' and 'Concurrent Wanderings', a group of small journal-like paintings which are about observation of the natural world. Rebecca has been working on a series of paintings about nature and culture for longer than she cares to admit, but a new body of work is slowly taking shape.
