Exploring the complex relationship between her figures and their surroundings, she places the figures in a perfect and delicate position. Often it appears as if there is even one speck of imperfection all would become chaos which is what might reflect on the current societal expectations for women. Furthermore, this view can be developed when noticing the figures in the artworks are depicted as siren or nymph-like, appealing to the unrealistic beauty standards for seduction. The attire featured in Beeman's work often stems from her own conceptual designs or vintage influences, which support character definition while moving away from opulent designer styles.
