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]
