Beling was a native of New York City who studied at the National Academy of Design and at the Art Students League of New York; her instructors included Lee Lawrie, Paul Manship, and William Zorach.[1] She was a nonobjective sculptor, and worked in a variety of media during her career, including bronze, ceramic, and wood.[2][3] Her work was exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art. She died in a nursing home in Bandon, Oregon, and was survived by two daughters.[4]

A bronze by Beling, Pose #1, is owned by the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.[5] Several other works were commissioned by synagogues.[4]
