paint for Haiti
Paint job well done: Attendees display their artwork completed at a paint
and sip fundraiser at the Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church in Queens on
Feb. 8. From Here to Haiti
By Alexandra Simon
They painted for a cause!
About a dozen women turned out for
a local organization’s painting workshop
in Queens last Friday.
The group of amateur painters
attended From Here to Haiti’s, “Paint
and Sip for Haiti” event at Holy Trinity
Roman Catholic Church in Whitestone
on Feb. 8, to support the group’s fundraiser.
Queens-based Haitian-American
artist Patricia Brintle led the workshop,
showing her class how to paint a
landscape and an intricately designed
tree. The event was a hit with its guests
because it gave them a chance to be
creative and give back.
“A lot of them really enjoyed it, especially
because it was tied in to an altruistic
reason, and about finding a talent
they’d like to explore,” said Brintle.
Even though most were not experienced
with the stroke of the brush and
initially hesitant, Brintle challenged
them with a seemingly tricky paint
subject, but says that helped empower
several to look into their artistic ability.
“I wanted to show them something
that looked complicated but is actually
easy to do,” said Brintle. “Some of them
really didn’t think they had the talent
to paint, but after the workshop I had
someone tell me they were going to buy
a canvas and some paint.”
Brintle founded From Here to Haiti
in 2010 with the mission to support
schools in rural parts of Haiti in need of
structural repairs. All donations raised
at the event will go towards repairing
the St. Francis Xavier School in Haiti.
She said art was a good avenue that
encouraged charitable actions because
it unlocked what people don’t think
they could be competent in. She also
added that it helped people bring more
good into the world.
“Art is something that really touches
a part of your psyche that is creative
and it opens you up because art is therapeutic,
and when you feel good, you do
good,” she said.
Brintle said this Spring, she will be
hosting a two-day gallery show slated
for April 25-28, showcasing the artwork
of Haitian artists, and other artists
from all over the world.
Happy painting: A thrilled attendee halfway done with her canvas.
