Liz Boast

Liz Boast has had a studio at Parndon Mill since 1999. It is set up as a printmaking studio, but She also paints in here too.

My collection of "stuff" that I use for inspiration is also kept here: dolls, puppets, bric-a-brac, junk shop pieces, car boot finds, beach combing treasure, things brought back from travels. Also my sketchbooks, full of drawings, paintings, cuttings, photographs, life drawings, tales and memories all to be used one day.

These are the starting points for my work, from large oil paintings to prints, ranging from small drypoint to large woodcuts. They are largely figurative and usually narrative. I have exhibited widely and my work is in various collections. There is a large triptych in Harlow Playhouse, called 'Thread of Life'."
