When the painting was revealed, we were in awe. It was breathtaking, beautiful. Then when the black light was turned on and we all witnessed the beauty, the completeness of the
metaphor, we could only stand there mystified….mesmerized. At the moment of silence, the energy was overwhelming. We all welled up with tears. This has been a wonderful, powerful experience.

I could not help but notice that Jacqueline Ripstein is more than an artist, she is a modern day crusader, a prophet and perhaps one of the most learned women in the world in terms of what really
matters and how to obtain the peace and light within.

The Grace of God manifests itself in a multitude of ways, one of which is through the healing power of art. In 1966, I met an angel named Jacqueline Ripstein. Jacqueline is an artist who paints in a very
surreal style, perhaps Dali-like in her repetition of geometric patterns and familiar colors; but with the softness and awe-inspiring statement of a master such as Michaelangelo. Her magical brush strokes come alive when
you turn on a black light and yet another complete image and story are born before your eyes as invisible paint pigment comes alive with angles and other images of light and love the come forth to capture your heart and soul.
For me it began with “Metamorphosis”(1988) which I purchased in 1996. An amazing physical and spiritual journey into healing began and has continued each day since. I bought this treasure
depicting the seven chakras or seven sacraments of Christianity or the Tree of Life described in the Kabbalah. Whatever your faith, the message is the same. It represents the journey of man from birth into the
eventual return to love or eternal light from whence we originally began our journey.
My second painting is “Our Lady of the Universe”, a very different painting than “Metamorphosis” but yet a similar
message of love and healing is experienced when you first behold this masterpiece. Being part of the mission of love to help the children of war-torn Bosnia is an important part of why I purchased this reproduction. I
have felt the Blessed Mother of my God’s love and all her unexplainable desire to help me heal my soul and heart through her intercession and her tears of compassion. It has brought me to a new level of humility and trust
I haven’t felt before. I can’t thank Jacqueline enough for her great contribution to my life and to the planet.
