Brintle, Patricia
Biography
Born and raised in Haiti, Patricia Brintle's colorful style reflects her native land. Her approach to painting is varied and reflects her feelings at the moment. As a full-time self-taught artist, her rich culture guides her creative muse; as a result, her art does not follow a particular school or style, it just flows from her heart. She is fascinated by the history of Haiti and many of her artworks reflect that passion. Also, her Madonna and Child series reflect her devotion to the Virgin Mary. 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 everyone 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. She belongs to several art organizations and exhibits internationally with shows in France, Italy, Barbados, St Croix as well as the US. Brintle is an inductee of the 1804 Haitian-American Changemakers; she is also the president of From Here to Haiti, Ltd. (FHTH), an all-volunteer non-profit charity doing repair work in Haiti since the earthquake of 2010.
