Де Форест
At age eight, de Forest sold over $100 000 in paintings within 16 minutes at an auction in February 2010. One of her paintings was purchased for $25,000. After this event, the Discovery Health Channel included de Forest in a television special about child geniuses. She has appeared on local and major news networks throughout the U.S. including NBC's "Today Show" and "The Wendy Williams Show". De Forest was commissioned by Disney to paint a series of Disney princesses. Time for Kids, a publication by Time Inc. written for school children, referred to de Forest as a modern master in an Aug. 2013 print and online article about de Forest and her work.
