Just when I thought I knew what was the meaning in the painting was, she opened up my eyes to view it in a different manner.

Jacqueline Ripstein’s art works were interpretations that had not only meaning, but depth, messages and moral, as well. What was most fascinating was how the artist incorporated angels and
religious images by the use of dark light. I truly enjoyed this presentation not only for its outstanding visual imagery but also for its spiritual and moral views. It was an excellent way to ponder upon many
problems one encounters in today’s society…in today’s life.

The message within “Our Lady of the Universe” is a new divine message given to the world to bring peace, unity and unconditional love to all the children of God on earth. The Virgin’s hands touching her heart symbolizes
how full of love is our soul.
My first spiritual awakening was a special gift. Through Jacqueline’s art, I felt tremendous happiness to the point of crying. Looking at this beautiful painting
literally transported me to different dimensions of consciousness. An angelic presence, a new awareness of my soul, removed the veil of fear to enter God’s unconditional love. An awareness that we are not alone and
that God is always with us if we choose to see with our open heart.
God gave me many gifts, posing my hands for Jacqueline Ripstein’s painting was the most peaceful experience a person can have. It
brought me to a higher Celestial level and made me feel togetherness with humanity, love, humbleness, peace and healing.

I am the publisher of “The Fine Art
Index,” a directory which surveys the most important artists, galleries and museums in North America. “The Fine Art Index” is a 686 page directory that features significant artwork from artists around the world.
To insure the highest standards of quality, I allow only established galleries to present artists in my publication. Rarely do I allow individual artists to represent their working the book.
As publisher of a fine art book I have had an opportunity to view the work of thousands of artists from around the world. In my opinion, the work of Jacqueline Ripstein has significant merit in the context of the
ongoing evolution of contemporary art.
I found her work so compelling as to grant her an exception and include her in the 1994 “Fine Art Index” without specific gallery affiliation. This exception
was made solely on the integrity and importance of her artwork.
