“Mer” means Light. “Ka” means Spirit. “Ba” means Body. It links the mind, spirit, and body to produce the Merkaba effect, an energy field that allows for enlightenment. It is said that it is the divine light path used by ascended masters to connect with and reach those in tune with the higher realms.

When I was in Egypt, all I could imagine painting were bodies of illumination. I wanted to learn to have vision as if I am light reading light, not sight as a body reading information based on circumstance or physical form. This painting is my first experiment with what that ability might look like. 

If you’re in the light - and you are whether you can see and feel it or not - I hope this canvas and her grand frame accurately represents all of the joy and contrast of the illumination of everyday existence in form on this planet.
