Born in Ayrshire, her education was interrupted by the realities of war and hence she became the only woman cryptographer, instrumental in cracking the Enigma code. Beaty went on to study at The Glasgow School of Art, and her art practice proceeded to coincide with a teaching career. Her work is rich in poignancy, the celebration of women, and joy. She was a pivotal female Scottish artist, and notable exhibitions include the Royal Scottish Academy; the Royal Glasgow Institute and the Scottish Society of Women Artists.
