Career.
Art.
Tint studied at the Pratt Institute and the Brooklyn Museum College.
Tint began showing her work in various galleries in the 1970s. Her early paintings are gestural and lyrical, with many circlings, loopings, and expressionistic brushstrokes. In her later work, the color takes on more of a force, more taut and with more surface tension. Her work has been exhibited in nearly thirty solo shows and nearly fifty group shows in the United States and Europe. Tint is also in the permanent collection of numerous museums including the Clement Greenberg collection at the Portland Art Museum as well as the Krannert Art Museum in Champaign, Illinois. Her work is in many private and corporate collections including Pepsi Co. and Mount Sinai Hospital. She is currently represented by Denise Bibro Fine Art, Inc. in Chelsea, NY and Gallery Sam in Berkeley, CA. Tint lists painters Antoni Tàpies, Larry Poons, Hans Hofmann, Jules Olitski, and Helen Frankenthaler as her primary influences.
Costume design.
Tine also worked for many years as a television and film costume designer, working on projects for ESPN, David Bowie, and Ridley Scott, among others.
