Christabel Forbes is a mixed-media colourist artist who draws from her reality and memory to discover other worldly, imaginative places. Drawing directly from life is crucial to her practice, which is then explored through printmaking and painting.

Having trained at The Royal Drawing School after taking a BA in Fine Art at Falmouth University. She is currently completing a Fine Art MA at the City and Guilds of London Art School. She has built up a portfolio of residencies and teaching experience in the UK and abroad, based around her use of colour to evoke people and places. In her work, as in her teaching, she tries to maintain a level of playfulness and spontaneity. Born in 1991 in Courbevoie, outside Paris, of mixed French and British parentage, Christabel is now based in Berkshire.
