Career
She taught art at Saint Paul Academy. She spent her summers in Grand Portage, Minnesota and was an artist-in-residence at the Grand Marais Art Colony. She become Dean of Fine Arts at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 2000.
Belvo"s art engages spirituality, myth, and the feminine, with the study of nature as a prominent theme.
Her exhibition Spirit Tree at the Bockley Gallery featured paintings of the Little Cedar Spirit Tree (Manidoo-giizhikens). Her series Transfusion Quartet was based on her experiences waiting for someone having a blood transfusion and the images took on a "metaphysical significance under psychological and physical reality seemed inextricably connected."
Belvo was one of twelve artists profiled in Joanna Inglot"s 2007 book WARM: A Feminist Art Collective in Minnesota.
