Her work is in many private and corporate collections including Pepsi Co. and Mount Sinai Hospital. Her works are exhibited by Cavalier Galleries and Denise Bibro Fine Art, Inc. New York City. Francine Tint's 2018 exhibition at Cavalier Galleries recently appeared in the print edition of D'Art International. Tint lists painters Antoni Tàpies, Larry Poons, Hans Hofmann, Jules Olitski, and Helen Frankenthaler as her primary influences.
Costume design.
Tint also worked for many years as a television and film costume designer, working on projects for ESPN, David Bowie, and Ridley Scott, among others. Tint has said that her work in costume design has influenced her painting as her canvases share the attribute of having many layers to them as with the application of fabrics by fashion designers into their creations.
