To want to know a secret, to have a secret, to keep a secret, to share a secret; that is something ubiquitous. In composition, color, and a sense of musicality, the paintings suggest an excitement that reminds us what it feels like to be alive. These pieces are not simply paintings, or secrets; they yearn to exist as new objects of curiosity." -Joshua Rampage
