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.
