Orlea was born in Manitoba, Canada, and lived her childhood there. Since that time she has moved 50 times to such places as Saskatchewan, Alberta, Arizona, British Columbia, and now Mexico.

She studied art at the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Manitoba. She has travelled around Canada and the U.S. doing art shows and workshops.

In 1989 she had a stroke, a burst aneurysm in her brain. It changed her life, everything that she held dear was gone...her home, her husband, her job. All that was left was a desire to paint and she could not paint realistically as she had before. She began to experiment and this led to her recognition that she was tied into some kind of divine Internet. As she started to trust and allow the inner guidance, the present style of work emerged.

She has since been told by seers from all over the world that the paintings have special properties, codes hidden in the design and colors. Her paintings promote a sense of peace, tranquility, and healing in all who view them. She has seen many people have their state of being altered just by looking at her mandalas. Many have told her their experiences while looking at her paintings of going into the white light, the tunnel of rebirth, and many other wonderful stories.

Today Orlea's art is in countries around the world.

She paints one mandala a week and paints commissions for people with the help of their angels and guides.

Orlea is an ordained Minister, Reiki Master, published Author, Spiritual Healer, Grief Counselor, Workshop Facilitator, Teacher, Public Speaker, as well as being a wonderful, spiritual artist.
