Forrest Van Keuren resides here in Carolina Beach and gets inspiration for his artwork from all things coastal.
His love of the ocean stems from spending summers as a child on the Virginia Coast. The wide variety of wildlife and the stunning local landscapes here on Pleasure Island give him an abundance of subject matter to choose from for his acrylic paintings.
Oftentimes, his artwork reflects nature seen and discovered while enjoying his pastimes of boating and fishing in local waters. One of his paintings was recently selected by the Carolina Beach Mural Project for a mural across from Stoked Restaurant.
Forrest shares his passion as a part time instructor for Carolina Ocean Studies, which is based here on the island. His job allows him to share his knowledge and appreciation of the Carolina Coast to grade school students throughout the state.
