Nita Forrest (1926–1996) was a Canadian painter.[1][2]
Forrest was born in Quesnel, British Columbia,[1][3] and while she was mostly self-taught, Forrest studied with Herbert Siebner and was influenced by both Maxwell Bates and Richard Ciccimarra.[3]
Forrest directed the Print Gallery from when she founded it in 1968 until 1972.[3]
Forrest had a joint exhibit with Vicky Husband at the Art Gallery in Burnaby, British Columbia in 1980.[4] For a time, Forrest was a member of The Victoria Limners Society (a group that has included Maxwell Bates, Walter Dexter, Elza Mayhew, Myfanwy Pavelic, and Carole Sabiston among others).[5]
Forrest's work is included in the collections of the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec[1] and the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria[6]
