Beerman was born in Providence, Rhode Island on 15 November 1923. She later studied painting under John Frazier at the Rhode Island School for Design and earned her BFA.
After earning her degree, she studied with various established artists including Yasuo Kuniyoshi at the Art Students League in NYC, with Adja Yunkers at the New School for Social Research in NYC, and Stanley William Hayter at Atelier 17 in Paris, France.
Althoughgh Beerman maintains the gestural brushstrokes of the abstract expressionists, her work focuses on bestial characters who convey the intense emotion found in her images. Her work includes automatic gestures, vivid colors, and stippled textures that help evoke the feeling of devastation.
Some of her themes include biblical plagues, the Holocaust, Hiroshima, and nuclear threat
