Tom Forrestall was born in 1936, raised and educated in Nova Scotia, where he currently resides.

Forrestall first started to paint at age seven and from that point began his life's devotion to art. In the late 1940's he attended Saturday classes at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax.

In 1954 he obtained a scholarship to attend the Fine Arts Faculty at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick. In 1958 he received, at graduation, one of the first Canada Council Grants for independent study and travel throughout Europe. Forrestall then married Natalie LeBlanc of Atholville and returned to Canada to work as Assistant Curator of the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in Fredericton. In 1960 a Forrestall painting was commissioned by the Province of New Brunswick and presented to H.R.H Princess Margaret on the occasion of Her marriage. In that year, he also realized his lifelong ambition as a professional self-employed artist and began experimentation with shaped panels for his art, for which he is now well-known.

Forrestall's principal media have been egg tempera and watercolour and since 1980, lithography printing. His work has been described as "magic realism" and is exhibited nationally and internationally
