Her paintings are filed with floral designs that include insects, birds, and other animals, spread out across the canvas. There are just floral patterns or illustrations, but Belcourt has created stories for each work. (4,15) An example of this work is a painting called "The Wisdom of the Universe.". This painting depicts flora and fauna that are endangered or extinct. Brightly colored images done with bed-like dots of paint against a black background shows the interconnectedness of nature (15)

Belcourt has produced a series of maps representing places of land and water as an indigenous person might see them or relate to these places as opposed to how they exist in the present. They are also places that have experienced or now face environmental abuse and damage. (citations needed from Winnipeg Free Press, Erasmus Law review and English studies in Canada.)
