Bobby Forsythe is the founder of the collective Supporting the Arts, established in 2020 in response to the pandemic, and curates annual exhibitions that support both local and international artists. She graduated from studying Fine Art at the University of Suffolk and holds an MA in Art History and Theory, achieved at the University of Essex.
She has been a practicing artist since 2016 and has taken part in numerous curatorial and collaborative projects with fellow artists mainly within East Anglia. Bobby has created interactive-immersive light installations, exploring how the beholder experiences unusual spaces.
