After several years of study & work I have finally found a name for the style of work that I have been creating. In short it is "E.M.P." Which stands for Extracted Monochromatic Portrayals. It is partially based on the Piet Mondrian theory of "Neoplasticism." All of my work is based on my beliefs & theories on what should take place while creating the image. I often see the final image in my head before I even create it! Which is great! That way I know If I have reached my objective.

I never try to overwhelm the viewer with too much unrelated information. I do not like to confuse the eye of my viewer. I prefer to capture their eye with great design and object placement. Not with confusing imagery.

I believe the final image should be based in well formed technique and theory. When the viewer can read my theory and see how it relates to the art work. I know I have succeeded!
