Forrest Formsma Gallery had a grand opening at the 54th and Monon Shops in December of 2009. This fall Forrest was commissioned to create a mural for IU Health Saxony Hospital, scheduled to open in December and located at 13000 136th Street in Fishers, Indiana. The process took about three months with Forrest submitting proofs to the selection committee. Once the general theme and color palette was chosen for the painting that will be hung in the hospital's entryway, the 11 foot tall and 24 foot wide canvas was constructed in the 54th Street gallery space and the painting began. Forrest plans to put a time lapse video of the painting's creation on his website www.forrestformsma.com.
