Christa Forrest is a Stamford CT artist specializing in pastel, oil, acrylic and mixed media. After spending 20 years in a finance career, she decided to follow her true passion and become a full time artist. Christa spends her time sharing her passion with others, teaching others to be creative and exploring the world's landscape recreating it onto canvas. Her work is a mixture of realism, exploration, experimentation and pure fun. Christa is a member of Stamford's Loft Artists Association and exhibits throughout Fairfield County and New York. A current project in the works is to help others unleash their creative soul through art, music and creative expression. Using art, yoga and meditation to help fuel the soul, Creative Souls Art will explore creating from within and intuitively without the pressure of perfection or judgment.

Christa maintains a studio at the Loft Artists Association building in Stamford and is available for commissions and private, group painting instruction.
