Liz Brown (1975-2015) was an artist and resident at the same independent housing project as Beales, where they became friends. Brown had anorexia and though the postmortem was inconclusive, Beales believes she died as a result of the eating disorder. Beales wrote about Brown, her art, her life at the housing project and her death in After the Asylum.
