About the Artist

ANGE O’REILLY is an abstract artist based in Vancouver, BC. Her rare neurological condition, synesthesia, merges the senses, allowing her to see colors and shapes when she hears music. Much of her work translates what she hears into visual form so others may see the beauty of sound.

Ange is excited and grateful for this ability, and she is currently working on her synesthetic collection, aptly named ‘Chromesthetic Choreo’. The name is a nod of gratitude to her synesthesia, as well as an homage to her past career as a dance choreographer. This collection is built of Ange’s most loved songs; some of which she choreographed dances to, songs that her friends choreographed beautiful, memorable dances to, and songs she just resonates with and loves. Angela hopes to serve all with her creative abilities and gifts, bringing music to life visually, in color, shape and texture.

Ange discovered her love for painting in September of 2021, when her career of over 20 years as a dance instructor and choreographer came to an abrupt end. The onset of the pandemic had caused the studio she lovingly worked at to close its doors forever. This devastating life event drew Angela towards painting, as this was a therapeutic, healing activity for her. Ange’s love for music and dance remains a strong influence and inspiration for her paintings, and through developing her skills in painting with acrylics, exploring the use of all sorts of mediums, and listening to music while painting, she discovered her synesthetic abilities.

Ange also enjoys painting in watercolor, with subjects ranging from crystals, flowers and plants, sunset skies to the ocean, and is currently working on creating a Crystal Tarot deck which she has spent a year planning out. She also has an interest in sacred geometry, and painting sacred geometry patterns on crystal grids is next on her ‘creative to-do list’.

Ange O’Reilly is thankful to live near Granville Island, in beautiful Vancouver with her loving, supportive husband and two busy young children. She enjoys being in nature, is an avid crystal collector, and has recently been attuned and is a certified Reiki level II Healer. She is also a QHHT Level 1 intern, offering sessions of past-life regression hypnosis to clients to become certified in that also.
