Artist Comments
A nude woman reclines, bathed in soft light against a dark green backdrop. Subtle brushstrokes accentuate the contours of her body, creating a sense of depth and intimacy. Artist McGarren Flack painted the figure from life, using delicate value and color transitions to introduce dynamic sparks within the palette.

About the Artist
Utah-based artist McGarren Flack captures everyday moments of human vulnerability through painterly realism. His career as a paramedic brings him face-to-face with people at their most helpless moments, which inspired him to contemplate the nature of being vulnerable. Whether sitting alone in a cafe or unknowingly dropping a possession on the street, the human condition is always subject to powerlessness. “It is important for me to share these scenes because I believe it will help the viewer connect to humanity,” says McGarren. “There is no escaping the feeling of vulnerability; it is blind to skin color, social status, and age.”
