The artist lives on the central coast of California in a place able to fulfill her deep passion for mountain and surfing adventures. A life long artist and avid collector of nature’s discarded and often unnoticed gifts, her unique art grew out of a love of found natural materials, exploring composition, texture and balance in her pieces.

“The beauty of Forest’s artwork is that it does not reveal itself until closely observed. From across a room the art is compelling and one is drawn in to discover its intricacies. Her application, textural design, and meticulous work is stunning, revealing and delicate.”
