New book provides an in-depth look into the life of artist Hazel Belvo

Hazel Belvo has been an influential artist, art educator, and feminist leader for more than 50 years. Her output ranges from delicate drawings to monumental paintings exploring nature, spirituality, and the feminine psyche. She is best known for over 400 works on the Spirit Little Cedar Tree on the North Shore, and has taught at the Grand Marais Art Colony for many years.

Art historian Julie L’Enfant has written several books on Minnesota artists for Afton Press, which is just out with Julie’s new book, “Hazel Belvo: A Matriarch of Art.” Both Hazel and Julie joined Ann to tell us more about the book and the process behind putting it together.

Hazel and Julie will be holding an artist/author talk via the Grand Marais Art Colony Wednesday, Dec. 16 from 2 to 3 pm.
