Life

Vint was born in Tallinn, where she graduated from 9th Secondary School in 1961. From 1962 to 1967, she studied at the Estonian SSR State Art Institute; she graduated as a glass artist.^[1] From 1967 to 1969, she worked as a High School art teacher in Tallinn, then as a freelance artist. She was a member of the Estonian Artists' Union since 1973.^[2]

She worked in ink and pencil drawing, and mostly lithography since 1972. In Mare Vint's work of the second half of the 1960s and the beginning of the 1970s, a style emerged, characterized by the black-and-white contrast of the drawings, in which color is more conditional.^[3]

She was awarded the Order of the White Star IV class, in 2015.^[4]
