Patricia Brintle was born in Haiti and immigrated to the United States in 1964. Although she has made the United States her residence, her colorful style reflects her native land. Her approach to painting is varied and reflects her feelings at the moment. Brintle’s work is influenced both by personal and social experiences, and most of her portraits focus on the expression of the eyes, telling in one look the story of the person on the canvas.

She favors bright, vivid and vibrant colors and uses much symbolism in her work. Her medium is as varied as her subjects but she prefers acrylic because of its diversity.
