Career
Boas' drawings, paintings, prints and digital projects explore the act of reading and the obliteration and confusion of meaning in language. Her work was exhibited in the 2016 Portland Biennial, curated by Michelle Grabner. From 2002 to 2006, Boas was a contributing editor for Artweek and has also been an art critic for Artweek, Art Papers, and artUS.
Teaching
Boas teaches in the Master of Fine Arts in Contemporary Art Practice program at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon and, from 2007 until 2012, served as the program's coordinator. Her pedagogy frequently fosters exchange between practices in art and writing. She regularly teaches a graduate seminar on the artist as writer and, in 2012, she began the publication [STUDIO] with Kristan Kennedy and Lisa Radon, in which students in the Portland State University Contemporary Art Practice MFA program respond to works, lectures, and studio meetings from visiting artists.
