Jacquelyn McBain’s works go hand in hand with the natural world and cultural evolution. She paints a deeply felt response to nature, while also adding images from scientific inquiry and dreams. Her works have a surreal narrative quality, and offer a nod to the Old Masters in technique. These sumptuous compositions are small in scale and seem to glow from within. Her prints in this show offer a microcosm to explore.             ------artdaily.org, review of bestiary at Littlejohn Contemporary
