Mundt currently resides in the Somerset section of Franklin Township, Somerset County, New Jersey.[1]

Career

Style

Many of Mundt's recent work which captures the small movements within gymnastic sequences is stylistically reminiscent of Eadweard Muybridge, who was well known for his pieces consisting of photographic series of motion. She is known for taking photographic images and painting them in a fragmented distortion.[1]

Themes

In her Witney Biennial paintings, Mundt addresses the issues of corruption within the Olympic Committee, the sport of gymnastics, and the media depictions of the sport. The concepts of forced femininity, nationalism, and gender are incorporated into many of her pieces. She began her series of works revolving around the 2016 U.S. Women's Olympic gymnastics team before the scandal of the sexual abuse of many women under the care of Dr. Larry Nassar became known to the public; however, Mundt encourages viewers to contemplate the implications of the events upon reflecting on her paintings.[1]
