Artist Comments
Artist McGarren Flack paints a twix mix cookie on a solid white background. “Who doesn't like sweets?” asks McGarren. In his Sweets series, he draws every piece in a single sitting. Drew puts sole focus on the subject alone. “I painted them after finding out Wayne Thiebaud passed, he was a sweets painter and a really good one at that.”

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.”
