Come for Patricia’s art gallery opening at Wisdom House on January 18th! Details below.

Born and raised in Haiti, Patricia Brintle’s colorful style reflects her native land.  Influenced by personal and social experiences, her approach to painting is varied and reflects her feelings at the moment.

As a full-time self-taught artist, it is her rich culture which guide her create muse.  She is fascinated by the history of Haiti and many of her artworks reflect that passion.  Her paintings are infused with complex symbolisms that seem, at first glance, simple but reveal themselves upon further examination. Her style is as varied as her subjects but she favors bright and vivid colors as she explores the universality of human emotions in every one of her artworks.  Many of Brintle’s works address strong issues such as nuclear disarmament, the Holocaust and the Haitian earthquake. Several of her works are featured in movies and grace the covers and pages of books, magazines, and publications. Brintle was commissioned to create twelve icons of saints of various ethnicity which are permanently installed around the nave at St. Francis Xavier church in Manhattan. She belongs to several art organizations and exhibits internationally.  Brintle is an inductee in the Haitian Rountable 1804 list of Haitian Changemakers.

Brintle is also the president of From Here to Haiti, Ltd. (FHTH), a non-profit all-volunteer charity doing repair work in Haiti, and donates most of the proceeds from the sale of her artworks to FHTH.

“What was any art but a mold in which to imprison for a moment the shining elusive element which is life itself – life hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose.” –Willa Cather
