Artist Biography

Cam Forrester

“I retired in 2017, after 32 years in the golf and club industry. Prior to golf, I spent 8 years as an architectural draftsman. Since 1976 I have been drawing and creating art, my first solo show was in 1988. From 1985 to 2017 I spent my free time painting, drawing, attended workshops, and holding solo art shows and sales. 

In 2005  I met a group of guys who shared the same love of outdoor landscape painting  and we began to travel together to paint and hold showings, the group is known as “ The Men Who Paint”. We travel at least 3 times per year as a group, and have had the great fortune of  painting in many remote areas of Canada and abroad. 

I have been a full time professional artist since 2017, I’m represented by five galleries, and I continue to show twice per year with the Men Who Paint.

My work primarily landscapes, based on my Plein air studies. Larger works are created in my backyard studio. My paintings are centred around design, shapes, and bold colours.

I have participated in over 70 solo and group shows in Canada and abroad. My artwork is held in private, corporate and museum collections including The Mann Gallery in Prince Albert and the Parks Canada Permanent Collections.”
