Tint studied at the Pratt Institute and the Brooklyn Museum College. She painted nonstop. She hung out at Max’s Kansas City, the famed night spot on Park Avenue South in Manhattan, where she befriended artists like Larry Poons, Brice Marden and Dan Christensen. The critic Clement Greenberg became a pal. For the next 13 years, the two spent hours in her studio analyzing her work, which also included figurative sculpture. Around the same time, she began experimenting more with color, which “should be a delicious shock to the eye,” she said. “I wanted colors to layer, melt and dissolve into each other, to do unpredictable things.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of her work also uses metallic gold or silver paint in it. Her paintings, which range in size from 10 inches to 20 feet, have been exhibited in more than 30 solo shows in the United States and Europe, and housed in permanent collections including the Krannert Art Museum in Champaign, Ill., and the Clement Greenberg Collection at the Portland Museum of Art. She received a Pollock-Krasner award in 2004, 2017 and 2023, along with a $25,000 grant from the Gottlieb Foundation in 2003. She did freelance work as a stylist and costume designer for the likes of David Bowie, Andy Warhol and Ridley Scott, and for “Saturday Night Live.” “I decided to make my own money in fashion and costume so I would not be dependent on the men, or any man,” “Her sense of color is very, very strong,” said Robert S. Mattison, an art historian and professor emeritus of art history at Lafayette College in Easton, Pa. At night, she took classes at the Brooklyn Museum and the Pratt Institute. 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. Compared to contemporaries like Joan Mitchell, whose raw, expressive power parallels Tint’s intensity, or Jules Olitski, whose atmospheric color explorations resonate with her later taut surfaces, Tint stands out for her fearless evolution—from lyrical loops to forceful, vivid compositions. 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\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe has represented by ACA galleries, Denise Bibro Fine Art, Inc. in Chelsea, NY and Gallery Sam in Berkeley, CA.
