This is the first piece in The Mundane Collection. Doing my makeup has always been therapeutic for me. I wanted to capture the peace of doing makeup for yourself in the morning.  I also thought about how differently people use makeup.  Some use it to hide themselves, while others use it purely as an art form.  However you use makeup, it can be a peaceful process in which you can reflect. 

This is the second piece in The Mundane Collection. I aimed to capture the final moment before stepping out of the house, an ordinary yet significant action. To elevate the composition of the piece, I introduced colored lighting, transforming the routine into something visually striking.

This is the third painting in The Mundane Collection. With this piece, I wanted to capture the serenity that comes with the mundane.  I find that people today feel overwhelmed by the weight of the world.  Through this piece, I wanted to show how I feel when I stop and just focus on the things I can control.

This is the seventh work in The Mundane Collection. I used colored lights to add interest to a piece that otherwise wouldn't be as intriguing.

This is the thirteenth work in The Mundane Collection. I wanted to capture how the mornings can feel so frustrating, but they are an important part of everyone's day

This is the fourteenth and final work in The Mundane Collection. This painting, to me, represents the complex nature that technology can have on friendships.  On one hand, you have a constant connection to your friends, leading to close relationships and meaningful conversations.  On the other hand, that same accessibility to people can create an overly dependent relationship.  I wanted to show how technology can be used simultaneously to create and burden relationships.
